First view of the homestead lake, after 37 years.
Packing IronThat's what I call "protection." (Although, if I had to shoot a bear, I would leave it there. I am not going to skin it.)

The lake looks lovely! I hope you are having a great time visiting your old home.
In Christ,

Laura: yes, it was that way when I was growing up, but now, it is worse. Since there is more restriction on hunters, bears are coming closer to people and their homes.
Well, when can we all move up there and where will we build the tea room???
Wow, it looks very wild and beautiful out there.What is the weather like?
Sincerely,your correspondent,

Dear Lady Lydia,
Looks like you are having a wonderful time! Enjoy and come back refreshed!
Since you are in Alaska and you are Lady Lydia, I have to ask, are you going to do a post on Sarah Palin?
Many Blessings :)

You look beautiful and so does the lake.

There must be more restrictions there in Kenai. Here, at least according to my husband, bear hunting is open all year round. Of course, it could be because this is a bit more developed. We still have bears in the neighborhood, but I have only seen a glimpse of one once while driving when my brother (who was visiting) said, "Is that a bear?" as it crossed the street from one house to another.
I have that skirt. Yours looks like its in better condition though. LOL.
I like it when Jane and Lizzy are talking after Lizzy makes her engagement known and Jane asks how long has she loved Darcy. Her reply always has me laughing hysterically,
"I believe it happened after I saw his estate at pemberly".
Paraphrasing. I cannot recollect the exact words.
I asked my husband and he reminded me that it is black bear that is unrestricted. We have more of them here in the MatSu than grizzly. The grizzly is very protected.
