The end is near

I am still here. Not a lot has been going on lately. I went to Homer the last two Saturdays to work at the Islands and Ocean Visitor Center in their discovery lab. The best part of that was getting to go to the Mermaid Cafe next door. It has the best coffee in Alaska and a cool used bookstore where I found a Flannery O'Connor book with a peacock cover. I am stock piling books for the long winter which is apparently approaching fast. Alaskan legend says that when the top flowers on the Fireweed bloom summer is done and fall has arrived. I took this picture about a month ago...



and this one today...



It doesn't look good for summer.

Hopefully I will get a chance to get in a few more summer activities before it slips away...
