Winter will be here in south central Alaska soon. I can feel it on the wind today and see it on the upper ridges of the mountains surrounding our valley.

Here's the latest article from the Alaska site at BellaOnline.com.

I've added quite a few photos to the Alaska forum. Some were taken at our Alaska State Fair - it ended on Labor Day. Other pictures are scenic photos taken not far from home. There are days when "home" can be so very beautiful!

I hope to hear from you sometime soon, either in the forum or in response to this email message. Your feedback is important!

Feel free to pass this message along to family and friends. I look forward to hearing from them, too.
