Good morning! We woke up to a super hard frost yesterday morning. There was a tell tale layer of frost still on the ground at 7 am. I heard that the temperature went down to 24° and happily stayed there for a while. Also last week sometime, we woke up to a lot of snow on the mountain tops. It was pretty, but unwelcome.
We’ve been busily putting up things from the garden since it is that time of year. Last night we picked peas. If you picked the peas that were buried under the plants, they were large and untouched by the frost; the top peas were that great. We’ve put much greens, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, and much more. Jeni has figured out a recipe to make smoked salmon which is then canned so that it’s cooked as well as smoked. We don’t have the right equipment to smoke it and cook it too.
We had an excellent visit with Sis Janet, Bro Art, and Sis Sarah. Sis Janet and Bro Art both preached on resurrection. Sis Janet came over to our house and ended up telling my kids and their friends about her experience when her husband died. I was blessed with the story, as were they, and it was an excellent testimony of God’s love and care.
The first hunting crews go out on Friday since moose hunting season opens on Saturday. We have to be there for the first hours of moose season, right? Tony and his help are frantically packing in camps and supplies, raking hay, and trying to bale it with broken balers.
So far no crews reported any moose...hoping that changes soon since the season is not all that long and we need at least 10....
Tommy and his girls, Jessie and Kerri went up, as did Brad Coxand all his family, Tony and his boys and am not sure who else. May is waiting for her dad to return from his piano trip to Valdez so she can go hunting with him. The weather is absolutely gorgeous and we are hoping it will stay this way for the whole month. A true "indian" fall, and excellent for hunting. PTL.
Lawrences and Pete and Stacey stopped by and did some quick hunting by the bridge and the river.
Geyers have put up an internet dish! Yay! But, Tommy has to cut down trees that are blocking the signal before it works superbly. Some kind of grant from the state which is helping folks get internet and covering some of the equipment and installation.
Not sure what else is happening, I cooked this past Sunday and there was a bunch of people and guests, so that all the ones who are hunting were actually not missed....Today it's back to normal and there are empty spaces where hunters and their families should be....weird.
Next week we start Teacher's Prep and all the teachers start to madly run around in circles and put their neglected classroom and paperwork in order for the new school year. I will have a rather light schedule, only one student for Spanish and 3 others who are just doing the Rosetta Stone. Rob will continue with his academics which actually never stop!...lol
Hard to believe that is turning 15 in a few days! wow...
I tried to take some photos of the "blue moon" we had a few days ago...
I should get going. Have a great day!
Rob and the bison at the local truck stop...he thinks it's cool!
