Sister Leaves and the Siblings will Play

 Took my sister and her friend to the Homer Airport this morning. BYE BYE.

House now ours for the next week. My other, sister and I, went to a few of the places that I went to last time I was her to look for wildlife and the beautiful scenery.

Went to the Spit to see the baby seagulls and spotted an otter swimming around the harbor entrance. The seagull fledglings we saw were behind a fence, I couldn’t get a very good picture, but I will be back.

Drove out on Olsen Mountain Road to the end, fireweeds for miles. We were fortunate, the sun came out for a bit.








After, we ran some errands. It seems that she has only one key to one of the cars at home and she brought it with her. Had to mail it back.

Went to the grocery store, good luck finding anything, grab what is on the shelves and then decide what to make. Might have to go hunting and foraging for food.

Came home and mowed the yard, ate and now just relaxing.

This a picture of the Spit, Homer Airport and Beluga Lake from Skyline Road.

First Day back in Homer

 Must have been very tired last night. Finally went to bed at midnight and slept until 6. New Mexico would be 2am to 8am. I hardly ever sleep past 5am regardless of the time I go to bed. I guess all that traveling caught up with me.

Dragged myself out of bed into a hot shower and that woke me up a bit. Still feeling a bit tired.

My sister leaves tomorrow, so I will be babysitting the dogs and working at the store for a few days.

We ran some errands to prepare for her departure.

We were hoping for a few rays of sun to be able to veins the Fireweeds, unfortunately the clouds were not being very cooperative. We did walk through, Eveline State Recreation Site, and viewed the Fireweeds. We will attempt to return when the sun is shining.

Here are a few images I captures with my iPhone12ProMax.





Just arose from a from a two hour nap, past out for the afternoon after our walk. Now everyone else is asleep. So, I,  will sit in the sunny, okay partly sunny, window to warm up.

Had a nice dinner of Alaskan salmon and a salad. going after some details with my sister before she leaves. Then time for bed, still light out.
