Goodbye, Summer!


So the word "frost" has been creeping up on weather news, as well as the word "snow on the mountains." Summer is officially over. 

With its farewell has come a lot of people at the work with the sniffles. My allergy medicine has been coming in handy :) It is a fierce and fast change of season. We went from "sandals are okay"/ "short sleeves are fine" to "you better bring a jacket and be wearing either rain or snow boots".

I never got to see this season in Alaska as I moved here last November. I do love Autumn, and will be posting some yummy pumpkiny recipes here pretty soon! 

The leaves are beautiful. Reds and oranges and yellows everywhere. The leaves have been coming straight through our apartment door. Autumn is here with style!

I think it is only fair to salute a proper goodbye to the days of summer. These are some of my favorite memories:


Taking hikes and seeing BEAUTIFUL landscapes.


Seeing the wildflowers of Alaska.


Going fishing for the first time.
