Last summer at Toolik Lake was the best summer of my life...
...and this summer in Fairbanks was the best summer of my life. I just wish it wouldn't go by so fast.
Gareth is back from his summer down under just in time for school to start next week. He didn't waste any time to turn his mountain bike into a motorbike!
picked wild blueberries
and made some jam
shared many good times with some good people
picked and ate some of the tastiest mushrooms
that we hunted and gathered in the neighborhood birch forests
took a nice hike with Lisa to Smith Lake
made rhubarb jam
Chris showed me how to peel logs
for the new construction project
said goodbye to a friend
grew our own in Simon's greenhouse
saw the state fair
played a few rounds of frisbee golf at Birch Hill
and, well summer's not over yet--there's still more stuff to do!
