The Autumnal Equinox and a Wedding

Bring on the dark and cold of winter. Today is when we have equal hours of daylight and darkness, after this day in the northern hemisphere we will be enjoying longer nights and shorter days. To those of us up here in the northern latitudes, Homer is at about 59 degrees north latitude, this change is much more significant.

We started off our fall with a trip down to my brother Shane and his new wife Missy's wedding. It was a wonderful weekend on a guest ranch in Napa Valley near Calistoga. The weather was perfect and aside from Shane and his father going to the emergency room on two separate occasions it was a great time. So fun to see all the family and friends of both families coming together for a great celebration.


For Alec it was all about the pool


The girls were so beautiful the night of the wedding.

We had a great time down there but we knew we were back in Alaska when somebody helped April get all of our luggage out to the curb at the airport while I went and got the car.

A little more than a week ago was 9-14 the significance being that we own a Porsche 914 that I brought back to life before last winter when I had a nice big garage to work on stuff. I leave with a shot of a beautiful September 14, 2005.
