Fall is finally here. We have color, color, color. And they say go east for fall color! This time of year is the best to take a drive from the peninsula to Anchorage just to see the colors. I have planted numerous oaks and maples to add to all of this. I have an oak (green) and two types of maple (the red and orange)in the front yard as well as many others in the back of the property. All young trees are caged to prevent them being eaten by the moose. Those wonderful animals can destroy and kill a tree.
Along with quilt making to build up my stock for next tourist season, I found time to put up assorted vegetables, pickles, jams and jellies. This is usually the end product of the summer growing season. Smoking and canning of fish was done earlier this summer. I now have a goodly stock to carry us through almost any situation.
Temperatures are still in the high 50's during the day but cool off considerably at night. Two quilt classes are approaching. September 29th is Contra Dance. This shows a different method for making a quilt "on point." October 6th is Table Art, a table runner using applique and embroidery techniques for the "quilting."
Can't wait for winter.
