doing my bid

What a weekend. I did my bid, relaxed as much as I could: Kind of like sleeping in an airport, and finished Desert Solitaire. This morning was cool and damp with the darkness of winter rolling in at 5 minutes and 40 seconds shorter than yesterday. Walking Maggie around 6:30am I heard the frist of the Great Horned Owl calls that I hear every fall in the twilight. Five low, "Who Who Hoo Hoo Who" every 10-15 minutes till the sun started to silhouette the Chugach Range to the East. Then the varied thrushes and robins started their chorus around 7:45am. The cabin is coming along, we have cleaned out the old "grow room", Stained the cedar siding painted the window sills Glacier Blue and next is the tin roof. Soon we will be moving in, by the end of September early October.
