Life After Alaska

Just in case you all thought that once Dr. H and I returned from Alaska all fun came to a screeching halt, I am here to set the record straight. The very same week we returned we went to a Neko Case concert at the Bing Theater, which was AWESOME! Such a talented lady. We also purchased mountain bikes, went on some epic rides (almost peed my pants riding along the super steep drop off on High Drive), made another batch of beer (Hefeweizen this time to celebrate the grand opening of our neighbor's new German-style pub in his garage), and went down to Portland to visit with some friends.

The weather here has finally started to feel summery, and my garden has absolutely taken off. We have already enjoyed the first zucchini of the season, we have lots of green tomatoes just waiting to ripen, our potatoes are almost ready, and our onions are getting huge! In fact, I just finished a delicious all garden omelet. YUM! More pictures to come in the next few days. Here is a little taster of life on the Eckenrod Homestead.
