We have had unseasonably warm weather this past week. Sunny and warm, no rain. Temperatures in the low - mid 60s during the day. It is tempting to get started on the garden beds, but experienced gardeners know that it's best to wait. The chances are good that the cold weather is not over yet. Our official "go" date for gardening is May 31. Memorial Day weekend. The tulips aren't waiting though, Greg took the leaves off the flower beds so the soil would warm up and we see little tulip shoots coming up already. The snow has all melted from our property, very different from the previous photos. It was such a beautiful day today we decided to drive up to the Hatcher Pass Recreation Area to see what it looked like up there. I took some photos to share in my ongoing series of photos from up there. It's so pretty.

more beautiful Talkeetna mountains.
If you noticed a dirty hue to the mountains and the snow. We noticed it too and are pretty sure it wasn't there last year, in fact, if we were to hazard a guess it would be a layer of ash from Mount Redoubt the volcano that erupted a couple times in March.
