The weather has been wonderful
lately. The horrible wind chills of last weekend disappeared - leaving
highs in the 30s and even 40s in their wake. Despite the lovely
weather, I spent much of my time preparing for tomorrow night's
First Friday event. Last night, we all met at The Grange, to hang
our photographs. I am so glad the hard part is over. Now all I have
to do is show up tomorrow night.
I added frames to the photos
I will be exhibiting (in Photoshop), so that they would look pretty
close to how they look hanging on the wall. Here are the photos
I chose to show (Click to enlarge):
On Tuesday, I took Sedona out for a ride. My first stop was the
Ice Park to watch the sculptors carving and building the multi-block
sculptures. It was a gorgeous sunny day and so warm that I didn't
need a hat nor gloves. I spent more than an hour at the park. I
haven't been to the park at night yet - when they are lit up with
colored lights - but hope to get there on Saturday night with Steve.
Here are some photos showing the work that goes into these beautiful
and intricate creations:
Next weekend, Chatanika Days will be held - in Chatanika, of course.
We're looking forward to human bowling, outhouse races, snowmachine
races, and other events. I hope this weather holds up. Last year,
it was so cold we could only spend an hour there before our faces
froze off!
In less than two weeks, we're leaving for Homer for a few days.
We're both looking forward to seeing the eagles again, and Steve's
signed up to participate in the Winter King Tournament. My friend
Angie is going to be in Homer at the same time, so I plan to spend
some time with her while Steve's out fishing. I'd also like to get
together with Chris and Ken while we're in town.
Off to bed for me.... I've had too many late nights. Steve's off
for the next couple of days, so it's time to catch up on some missed
snuggle time.
Until next time...
