Once the ground was cleared we started working on the garden space. Digging up willow stumps and the larger rocks, removing trash and snowmachines and the larger stones. |
So of course a few days later it snowed heavily for a couple days. Cause I almost forgot I lived in the arctic. Here you can see some of the finished boxes my husband made from salvaged wood. |
A polar bear claw pendant, capped in whale baleen and scrimsahwed with a ancient Inupiaq design. I call this one 'Twist'. more info and pics at: www.SalmonberryDreams.Etsy.com |
Some lichen sunbathing on a rock. For some reason it looks so exuberant. |
My brother picked up the camera and got a shot of me. We were watching my husband and my brother in law butcher two caribou for transport. |
A American Golden Plover. Eying me suspiciously. Because I was acting suspiciously. |
A polar bear fur, pearl, seed bead and bone hair pick. The pearls were leftovers from my wedding. More pics/info at www.SalmonberryDreams.Etsy.com |
Simply lovely. Rainey. Thanks for sharing. I love AKP and miss living on the Slope.

Thank you!
DeleteI'm getting really excited watching your garden space become a reality !
ReplyDeleteSure wish I knew something to say to help with the spoon tomatoes. I can't grow tomatoes here- too wet, too cold.
