Our Home in the Summer

One of our favorite features of our home is the large beautiful backyard. We had it professionally hydroseeded several years ago and as we continue to take care of it, we've been rewarded with a richer and richer lawn each year. We enjoy hours of play each day in our backyard, playing games, reading books, laying on our backs and watching the sky, even mowing! Last year we were treated to a beautiful summer evening. We grilled a dinner of Alaskan fare for our house guests (halibut and salmon) and while we were sitting out in the late-evening Alaskan sunshine, a mama moose and her calf wandered into the yard. As they were at a safe distance, we sat and watched them and our company got amazing photos and an amazing Alaskan experience!
This perennial garden is located at the edge of the small front yard, between the house and the circle drive.
We also enjoy evening camp fires around the fire pit along the edge of the lawn.
