Bear Hunting Fall 2015

Well, another bear hunting season has come and gone.


Many meals were cooked, oodles of dishes were washed, old friendships were renewed, and new friendships were made.

And, this year I brought something new onboard....... some kayaks!


I've never really done that much kayaking before now.



It's such a quiet and peaceful way to explore Southeast Alaska's islands and bays.



Kayaking is so much fun!

Goodbye, Lily

Well, Summer is definitely over.



And it was a good one.


 Lily's people wrapped up their fishing season and came to pick her up to take her home.


 I was surprised how much I miss her! Every time I see something white in the garden I feel my spirit lift a little thinking it's Lily, and then, I realize with a sinking heart that it's not her....she's gone.


Thank you for laying the nice, big eggs for us, Lily.


 (I have no explanation for what's going on with my hair here)


And thanks for entertaining all of the customers. You are loved......


.....and you are missed.
