Spring has begun to show it's true colors during this month, Flowering trees have blossomed (finally) and wildflowers are everywhere!!! I enjoy taking walks through the woods just to see all the flowers and the many shades of green.
This month we were fortunate enough to have my Uncle Milt and Aunt Barb visit for a week. They stayed with his sister who also lives in Kenai. We took them to Homer for a day to do some much needed shopping, a little sight seeing and lunch. The Homer Spit which has many very cute shops opened Memorial day and will be open until Labor day. We walked the spit, shopped some very cute gift shops, went to the visitors center and had lunch on the Kachemak bay. Below is a picture of Milt of Adam, the sign says it all!
Adam and I with Kachemak Bay behind us.
Adam and I went for a walk on the property this weekend, I got this great shot of him and Butch!
I don't know what these flowers are but they are everywhere and are very cute!
Walk through the woods, the bright green ferns are covering the forest floor in every direction.
Adam has decided to try a few new facial hair techniques. This one is my favorite, I wonder if I could braid it!!!
Wild sideburns!
The mustache, very 80's! This hair which actually looks very real is a moss like material that grows on some of the trees!
Adam's 26th birthday was June 22. We went to our favorite mexican restaurant in town for dinner (amazing salsa). After dinner we met Brian and Brenna for the movie 'The A-Team', it was actually very good. In between dinner and the movie we had some time to kill and decided to head down to the beach in town, up the hillside behind the beach is a steep trail that leads up to a very nice park. It was perfect weather, Butch was able to tag along as well since he goes everywhere with us. I could not believe how many wildflowers we saw on the trail, it was so beautiful, and the whole trail looks over the ocean and the mountains to one side.
One view from the top, looking out to Mt Redoubt.
Grove of Birch trees at the top.
One of the many flowers along the trail.
I'm assuming these are wild roses, very pretty!
Lupines. These flowers are literally everywhere here, they are in full bloom too and so pretty.
Since Adam does not like cake, I made a New York cheesecake with strawberries and real whip cream instead, it was so yummy! We celebrated with Scott, Estelle, Brian and Brenna.
(The new sunset picture at the very top of my blog site was taken 6-22-10 at 11 pm, still very light out.)
