So sorry sweetheart, Pa Pa is gone forever.
Congregation
The ducks are here today, gone tomorrow. Fun to watch.
Orange Ice
Last night the orange sky reflected on the thin sheet of ice covering the lake. Too thin to walk on yet.
Breakfast of Rose Bushes
Two young moose showed up yesterday and chowed down on my rose bushes that are loaded with Rose Hips.
Progress on Redington School Commission
Finally, some good progress on the Redington School Commission. Once finished the panels will total 32′ in length.
Ducks And Ice
A thin sheet of ice is forming along the shallow edges of the lake where the weeds grow, forcing the ducks to search for food in deeper water.
Heavily Laden
Oh how beautiful, I just hope the wind stays away. Wishful thinking though, we do live in a wind tunnel.
Still Snowing
We got snow and it is still coming down. So far about 6″.
Warm October
No snow yet, very warm temperatures. Unusual for late October in Alaska.
Two Snoozers
The wind is howling outside and there is white chop on the lake, meanwhile inside these two are snug as a bug in a rug.
October Sunset
This time of year in Alaska produces some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets. This was just after a day of rain and the clouds began to clear.
Fall is in the Air
The beginning of crisp, clear days and fall colors. I love this time of year. It has stayed very warm, only one morning below freezing so far. Otherwise the temperatures are in the 40’s in the morning and 60’s during the day. An Indian Summer for sure!
Path to the Chair
The colors are slowly changing and this is a perfect spot to sit to admire the beauty of the coming Fall.
Mini Blue Poppies
As I was cutting back the perennials for winter I discovered a mass of tiny Himalayan Blue Poppies growing underneath. It is going to freeze any night now, so these guys don’t have a chance.
Lettuce Towers
My lettuce is growing into towers, it still tastes good.
