our front yard 
my son devon is impervious to the cold when it comes to fun
gill netting for reds (salmon)it's time for us to be heading down to our other home, and my favorite, our lodge out at ugak bay. we leave on sunday (or tomorrow, whenever the captain says) and i will be gone until the beginning of october. we have no phone (the boys won't be able to text, i hope they can keep their thumb muscles in shape) or internet, so this will be my last post for a bit. we do have a generator, so this time i get to bring my awesome hello hitty janome with me & hopefully get some quilts whipped out.
the family vehicle it's hard to explain how wonderful it is down there, like another planet. so peaceful and quiet, with just an occassional float plane flying by. time slows down, and at night there are so many stars - without electric lights it is amazing what you can see in the sky.
momma brown bear & fox familywe have game cams set out in a couple spots behind the cabin, and it will be fun to see what has been walking by. last year we got to watch the day by day travels of a momma deer & a momma brown bear before & after babies.

thank you for stopping by my blog. How wonderful this venue is that a girl from Kodiak can so easily converse with a girl from Lawrenceville. What a wonderful age we do live in. Your front yard is magnificent. Sweet Duffy is such a good dog and he looks very happy in your packing fleece. Actually, looking at the around Duffy, I wanted to hand paint it and then spin it into something warm. I adore natural dying technicques and especially painting fiber. Such fun and always a surprise with the outcome. Sea Witch
