Fall Colors

It is that time of year again . . . and we had a few days of sunshine, so I needed to take advantage of them and get a few pictures.

Because Alaska doesn't have any trees that turn red, I find myself drawn to the underbrush for some color variety.

Cabin

We spent Labor Day weekend at the cabin, painting and putting up the outside trim. I was so happy to have the red windows gone! 

Fall 2011 - Almost Done!

I looked through my Picasa Album of the cabin and was reminded of the many weekends we spent putting this together.   After the Fall of 2009, we quit working on it and just used it in its "almost done" state.  This past spring, we decided to dive into the details and get it done.  And we are very, very close to that point now as we head into winter. 

We started the cabin in Fall of 2008
