A friend of mine hired Gage Tree Service to light the huge pine tree in their front yard. Isn’t the result spectacular? The sheer size of the tree is impressive, but with all those lights shining, it’s really something special.

Love Note: Snowy I Love Yous
The last few times I’ve walked down our street, I’ve seen “I love you” written in the snow, always with an exclamation point at the end; a joyous and emphatic statement.
Parks for All: Coming Soon!
I’m a bit late to the Parks for All party, as the fundraising is done and all that’s left is to build the playground and then get down to the business of playing, but I wanted to write about it because it’s such a cool project and is a good example of how just a couple of people can make a big difference in our community.
Love Note: Free Hugs
I was walking home the other night, and encountered these two, offering free hugs.
Dog Friendly
Last Seattle post I promise (until my next trip!). When we went on our furniture-browsing binge, it was at University Village, where, in addition to being very visually appealing despite being mostly “signature national retailers,” DOGS ARE WELCOME.
Santa on a Bike!
When I was driving home tonight, out of the darkness came Santa on a bike. He waved at me as he rode by, his cheeks rosy and his beard bright white under the streetlights while his hat flopped jauntily over his forehead. He seemed a bit under-dressed for the weather in just a long-sleeved red shirt, but maybe he was going so fast he wasn’t cold.
Love Note: Snowflakes
Is this a love note to our long, snowy winters?
I’d like to think it is… I loved wandering past this SUV, I am sure that someone has had plenty of amazing winter adventures in this vehicle!
Indoor Market Inspiration
I’ve been thinking about my Seattle trip a lot – it is just such an inspiring city and so much fun to visit friends for a couple of days and explore! I’ve always loved Pike Place Market, and thought that we could do an Anchorage version by having an indoor market that could expand into an outdoor market in the summer. On my most recent visit to Seattle, I actually wandered into an indoor market that was even better than all of my imagining: Melrose Market.

Lisa in Watercolor
I stumbled upon Women of the 112th one day, and have watched it ever since to see when Lisa Murkowski’s portrait would be painted.
At last, here it is!
