Summer time, Homer Alaska

Well I planted my garden the first time May 25 and none of the plants made it, to cold. So I'll start again middle of this week and hope we don't get any more frost.
I start the plants in the house in front of south facing window late April or early May. I also planted some corn, squash, cucumbers, beans in the green house (not heated) and they are doing fine.

Went down to the homer spit yesterday evening not many tourists here yet. Not many motor homes here yet, if they are coming at all this year, gasoline is $4.52 a gal and diesel is $5.05 a gal here in Homer now.

Been a lot of moose around the house this spring, giving my beagles something to bark at and keep me busy keeping them apart (moose and dogs).

Looks like I will have to cut the grass next week, first time this year. We have had a really cold spring, but the snow has been gone now for a couple of weeks.

Started dragging logs in to cut up for firewood for the coming winter, looks like I'll be putting in a wood stove in the house to save on heating oil. Heating oil is $4.65 a gal now. Lots of dead spruce trees here since the spruce bark bettle came though here years ago and killed most of the bigger trees.
