North of the Lemon Tree

April followed in March's footsteps, with more School From Home and much of the town shut down. On a walk one afternoon, we noticed a crab boat in harbor selling king crabs. Of course we had to stop and buy some.  We made a tremendous mess in the kitchen boiling the crab and cracking the shells. *Note to selves: invest in some crab crackers. But it was worth the mess! A few scenes from around town  Aunt Leslie gave Mady a Fairy Garden, and we planted some succulents in the top and are using the bottom for Mady's rock and shell collection. Low tide adventuring  Tiny sea star An even tinier sea worm  Hermit crab  Nature perserveres Chilkat Mountains in the distance We weren't able to complete this hike due to snow and ice...we'll have to return later in the summer. Alex joined us on this hike, but I took the picture on the way out, and he had already reached the car. Parts of the trail weren't snowy at all
