Clean Porch

On Sunday, I talked Gus into going to the cabin with me so I could clean the porch.  A couple of weeks ago, Bryant and I painted the floor and left the few contents from inside, outside.  Knowing that this area wasn't completely protected from the elements, I decided to drive over there on Sunday.  I had also planned to put sealant on the front logs, but it was raining. 

Part of the reason I was able to talk Gus into going with me was I also need to swing by Walmart, which was his opportunity to pick up his Halloween paraphernalia. 

So on Monday after school, Wyatt and Gus carved pumpkins and I helped them decorate the living room.  I guess we won't be lighting any fires for the month of October. 

The Old Knik River Bridge

Driving home from work today, I happen to have my camera in the car and I couldn't resist spending a few minutes on the Old Knik River Bridge.  Amazingly, the colorful leaves still adorn the trees. 

Although we have yet to see flakes in the air, we have had a couple mornings of frost.  These mountains are about 5,000 feet high and the snow level is right around 3,000 feet.
