Mt. Marathon recieved an ever so light dusting of snow yesterday afternoon which seems to signal the official beginning of winter in Seward. This week brought clear weather but colder tempeatures. (low 30's in the morning) I actually had frost on my windows one morning - had to go in the house to grab the ice scrapper.
We have yet to put the studded tires on the cars, although this is not to far off - but I did take the boat to its winter home last night. Our friends Trevan and Shelly (he is the middle school principal, she teaches for me) are storing the boat and motor for the winter as they have a huge yard and a heated garage (means I don't have to winterize the motor).
Hey Mary is up!
A small funny to the boat delivery - I took Nikan and Bruno with on the outting - my mistake came in thinking it was a "quick trip" and not crating them. As I was backing the boat into place Trevan arrived home. I got out of the car, leaving it running to verify where to put the boat...When we went to get back in the car...to boys had locked the doors - Did I mention the car and the boat were still in the road! Called Mary for the extra key while Trevan unhooked the boat and pushed it into place. As long as we were at the Walkers, Moose steaks, twice baked potatoes...and some guitar hero rounded out the night.
Today's pictures are my first attempt at flytying. One of our current Friday afternoon enrichment classes is Beginning Flytying. Until we get archery equipment - I am free to explore...of course provided other "duties" don't call me in another direction. So yesterday I went to the class for a lesson. I plan to try my hand at a few more flies this weekend - practice, practice, practice.
