A Sunny Fall Day

The island is changing. The bright green of the Emerald Isle is starting to fade to brown and hints of cooler air are starting to blow. Even the grass may only need one more trim. We are starting to hear that within the next four weeks the winter weather and darker days will be here.

Our week was lovely! Amelia started preschool and we had open house at Molly's school. Molly's classroom is lovely, bright and colorful. Molly hid a picture of herself in the play kitchen area. It's her favorite part of the room :). She loves going and so far every day has been GREAT.

I started planning for our upcoming Daisy outings with Molly's troop and working on Dessert ideas for an upcoming auction. I volunteered to make a sweet treat to be auctioned off.  The monies raised will help fund the Santa to Villages program run by two retired coasties.

We spent our rainy Saturday hanging pictures an catching up. I had forgotten how hard it is to hang pictures!  You have to find the perfect wall for each one. OR, try something new, like create a photo wall.  It came out great, thanks to Andy's help with the measurements and the placements.  I have to recommend finding a photo frame with a one hook placement, versus two.  I also had signed up at the local museum to take a spruce root bracelet class. It was fun class, and nice way to relax.

Sunday was a perfect clear day.

We decided to head to Pasagshak to fish. The Pasagshak is about an hour drive from Kodiak. It was a beautiful day by the river, but with the outgoing tide and the sunny weather, we had No Fish ON.  The highlight was Molly getting to try her new hip boots and fishing pole that lights up when you reel in a big one. Two classic garage sale finds.   We finished our outing with a trip to the roads end, Fossil Beach.  The kids and I got to view the rocket launch facility. The knickname is "the other cape".

The pictures came out great and we created lasting memories.  On a side note, I found my favorite place to eat in Kodiak.  An old, out of the way Bar with delicious food. Go Figure.

Dumping the water out. Waded in a tad bit too far.
