Its Officially Official—I am hitting the Iditarod Trail again this February as part of #ITIalaska. I will be skiing 350 miles solo to McGrath, but you can be part of the team! (1/2)

"Pancho" has been arrested and is looking at deportation after 30 years in our community. He owned successful businesses in the area feeding many and donating to many more. His assets are all frozen and his family is unable to have access to any of it. gofund.me/a249f31c

Once again the day was gorgeous all day while at work. As I went to leave the office a torrential downpour hit Soldotna. 20 mins after I walked through the door at home in Kenai BOOM rain starts here. I HAD PLANS TO WORK IN MY YARD TODAY, MOTHER NATURE.

It's starting to feel personal that the weather is out to get me. Every time I go out to work in my yard the rain blows in and starts to downpour within 15-20 minutes. EVERY TIME!

Finally watching A Different Man and OMG NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT HOW HE TRANSFORMS. I just thought it was cosmetic surgery! That was not what I was prepared for!

Working on the backlog of baseball photos from the last month. Hoping to be caught up before the High School State Championships in two weeks. Found this one from the SoHi vs KCHS game on March 10. I believe most in the pic are departing seniors. #Baseball #HighSchoolBaseball #HighschoolSports

He pitched a great game, coach pulled him early (not sure why, possibly to give other seniors a chance on the mound for senior night). SoHi beat their rivals the Palmer Moose 7-0! They are first in the division heading into Regions next weekend (which will be hosted by Grace Christian).

Then and now. I've loved watching this kid through my lens over the last 10 years (well, longer than that, but that was when I started following his baseball career).

1955 "Grimaces, Kotzebue" by Jean-Philippe Charbonnier. The French photographer is using a French meaning of "grimace," meaning to make a funny face. #alaskahistory #alaska

I've passed the 10K photo threshhold this spring sports season. TBF I'm following 3 kids in Jr/High School sports & I'm not just taking pics of THEM when it's a team sport. Most of the photos will end up being culled bc who really needs 500 of the same at bat swings but unculled I'm just over 10K.

Yesterday graduation, today - just another day of baseball. 😉 I swear it was just a few days ago I was taking pictures of Colby and his little brothers all playing little league. What. The. Heck.

Welp... Redington High School Baseball just got creamed by the Soldotna Stars (again)... ending score was Redington 0, SoHi 15 (and they only played 4.5 innings. Mercy rule was called at bottom of 4th but they have to get to 5 innings for it to count in conference play).

Buddy Jesus came from Rome last fall, Pope Francis joined him today. Apparently I am now collecting religious figure bobbleheads. 🤣

Kristy Berington posted on her facebook page today (it's on public so I'm not sharing personal info) that she injured herself in a bike race earlier this month. Turns out she has a broken elbow. She has had surgery to repair it and will start PT soon. #MusherTwitter

10 years ago (next month) I rescued this little boy from the Kenai Animal Shelter. Today we celebrated Rescue Dog Day. 😍 it was a boring one bc of rain, so we got in extra snuggles. Im guessing he still loved today.

I want to see Thunderbolts* in theaters again, but I just don't know when I'll have the time to sneek it in the schedule.

Awwwww George Wendt died?! 😭

Today is Be a Millionaire Day. IDK how one does that if they don't qualify as one but.... go be!

Just me watching the Sam and Bucky scene from Brave New World on repeat. 😍 I need more Mack Attack and Sexy Seabass!

His poor little tongue. I know his mouth has to feel better but he cant keep his tongue where it goes anymore. 😭

A friend's mom and mom's dog were trampled by a moose this morning. They didnt see the moose until it was on top of them. The dog didnt make it, mom made it away to safety. THESE GIANT MURDER NINJA PONIES ARE NO JOKE! This time of year they are extra murderous as they prepare to birth mini murders

Did the first mow of the back and front yard. Im a tad early but some spots were so high and i couldnt do a patchwork job. Now im all sweaty so OF COURSE Stitch needs snuggles. 🙄😫🥵

It's not the best pic bc of the reflection but a bird full on body splat against my parents' window today. By the size we think it was most likely a robin. No sign of the bird on the ground so it must have flown off.
