WHAT'S UP FOR THE WEEKEND??
First let's get the weather out of the way-cold and sunny for the weekend! From what I heard in the news we aren't expected to have the winds again-but, don't hold your breath because I caught the end of the forecast. No snow, no clouds (boooo). Today the wind was calm in Anchorage, thank you! But, the Mat Su valley and other parts of Alaska had wind-52 in Wesiella (one part of the city, Fire Station, reported 96 mph!), Palmer was 68, etc.
We are having about 7.5 hours of sunlight. The sun rises around 8:30 or 9 and sets around 4:30. For some reason, it doesn't seem strange to me-now, that's strange.
For the weekend I plan on starting with my fun Friday-Border's to listen to the guitar, eat a herb stuffed pretzel, and sip some chamomile and rose hip tea! I'll have to get to the grocery store-I have to make that a priority this weekend since I haven't been able to fit it in lately.
There is an intertibal pow-wow at the Native Heritage Museum this weekend. I am excited about going to that event. However, I also want to go to Homer since the weather has been so nice and the roads are good. I heard one person say that's where the "tie dye" people in Alaska live-I am reading a book about flower essences of Alaska written by a man from Homer so maybe that supports that claim. Sounds like my kind of place.
I just learned about a busline that runs in Alaska-that means I might be more mobile in the winter than I thought!!! I would like to go to Fairbanks for their Christmas festival time.
I would love to take a flight over part of Alaska but that is out of my price range!
Fortunately, I now have more time and better weather to fit in more fun in Alaska!
