I just looked out the window of my new bedroom. There's a tree that had just a hint, a blur, of green three days ago that already has small leaves!!! It's going to be incredible to watch things grow in the Alaskan spring. (We already have about 17 hours of sunlight a day!)

There's always an amazing assortment of things to do in Anchorage, and about 10 of them are happening this coming Tuesday. Here's one:
