Bob trimmed out the door and windows in my shop. A door into the garage is still needed but there is no hurry. We're waiting for something discounted to turn up. It's a comfortable place to work as is, especially with the heater installed.

| Primitive plumbing: rain water and bucket under sink. |
With spring arriving weeks later than usual the garden is finally filling out. Poppies have faded, other things are at their peak, newly planted roses and perennials are putting growth into their roots to survive the winter. I'm happy to report the moose-attacked trees are putting out new leaves, a sure sign of recovery.

| Big Delphinium, needs dividing. |
 |
| Small Bleeding Heart that has happily bloomed all season. |
 |
| Deadly Monkshood has just opened. |
 |
| Alaska state flower, the Forget-me-not. |
 |
| Rhubarb grows madly despite the worst weather. |
Next year I have to try my hand at growing a few vegetables. Bob says he'll construct a small PVC hoop house in the space cleared when the septic system is installed. With luck that will be done next month. Then we can bring up seaweed from the beach to decompose over winter and build up the soil.
