Almost!

You can't feel it in the air yet...in fact, it's dang hot - too hot actually.  So sick of Summer.  But Fall is a comin', everyone!  My all time favorite season.  I am waiting for that certain day when I step out of work and I can feel Fall in the air.  It's not just the cooler weather but there is a certain feeling in the air and you know it has arrived!

I was @ the grocery store last night and seeing these pumpkins outside the front door made me smile!  The $8.00 price tag was not a happy thing but the pumpkins...oh yeah!


Happy "Almost Fall" everyone! ♥

Tending to the Blog

I was reading a very popular Blog today and it certainly made me feel like a real lousy Blogger.  I love my Blog but I'm just so bad at keeping it up.  Most of it is just laziness.  Having a 2 story house where the second floor is not really used, it kind of gets forgotten up here.  I come home tired from work, look up here, and it's dark and quiet.  I think to myself "do I really want to go up there"?  I do but I don't.  Anyway, I was reading some great tips about blogging today and she said to treat your Blog as if it is a growing flower or plant.  Something that needs to be nurtured, watered, and generally taken care of.  I don't really do that now do I?!  Don't answer that!
Another tip was to thank and really appreciate your Blog followers.  That is a great idea...but not Blogging is kind of letting down those who read it and want more.
So I know I have promised it before, more than once, but I really am going to make an attempt to be a regular Blogger.  For both you and for me too!
I'm actually still feeling the incredible effects of such a great vacation in Alaska.  I just found the beauty to be so incredible, peaceful, and healing.  There were a couple of times that I would gaze out of a window or off the deck of the ship and I would get tears in my eyes - just taking it all in.
Here are a few of my favorite pics...from the Tracy Arm Fjord and Skagway (including the Yukon in Canada).  Will post some more tomorrow from Juneau and Ketchikan.



Skagway, AK - By far my favorite stop
Loved the wood plank sidewalks!

Port of Skagway - we were the only ship in Port that day
