My Fair Relay Greenhouse

As you can see by the title of this post I will be catching up on some things now that school is out and I have time to share.

Activity Number 1: On May 14-16 I was in Nome's musical production of My Fair Lady. Eliza Doolittle was a wonderful role. I enjoyed being this character so much and thank Richard, our director for trusting me with this responsibility. What fun! A cast and crew of over 40 helped make this production possible. Starting rehearsals back in February and putting in weeknight

s and weekends since then paid off. It was well received by our audience. The Nome Theatre Guild is just one more reason why I enjoy Nome so much. I am pictured here as Eliza with our favorite director Richard Beneville.

More photos of the play are on Facebook. A DVD will be coming to WI in July!

May Activity Number 2: Relay for Life, Nome. This was the first ever Relay for Life event in Nome, and it went very well. Our small community raised over $25,000. Pretty amazing for our first year. Nome has a lot of support for cancer survivors. We do another event in October to raise awareness and money as well. That one is the Walk for the Cure. Relay for Life is a National Program and this was Nome's first year.

The luminary ceremony is my favorite event. It is a time for you to light candles and remember those who either lost their lives to cancer or show your support for the survivors. This is Nome at about 2:30 in the morning with the lit bags. We don't get as dark as other areas, but it is still a beautiful thing to see.

I had a bit of a sore throat after activity number 1, so it was hard to be on the entertainment committee for activity number 2. My co chair Leah, had to do a lot of the talking. It was a wonderful event and I hope to help next year as well.

May Activity Number 3: Green House

I tried to take a gardening class but with all my other things going on I was not able to get there, but my husband did build me a greenhouse so I can start gardening on my own. I planted carrots, zucchini, lettuce, spinach, flowers of different kinds, and tomatoes, both cherry and regular. We will see what grows this first year. It is always an experiment. Last year my greenhouse rack I had been using for several years blew off the deck during a storm and shattered. Before that I had a greenhouse that blew across the tundra from Icy View to town.

This structure is a lot more solid for sure! We are just waiting to place it in it's permanent spot. Otherwise it works well, yesterday it was 32 degrees with the wind but the green house was 80.
