Autumn in Alaska

Well autumn has arrived in Alaska... and left! We had our first snowfall this past Saturday, September 28th. It melted in a few hours, but fall is definitely over. This morning it was a brisk 23 degrees outside at the house. Our few weeks of autumn have definitely gone by quickly. That is one downside of Alaska, the shortness of my favorite season. It was a great fall while it lasted. We keep chugging along with our classes, and Andrew started a new job as Flight Operations Coordinator at UAA. The view from his new desk is great - Merrill Field! He of course loves being closer to and working around planes again.

We've had some breaks from the rain this month and I was able to get out and take some pictures around the Chugiak/Eagle River area, some of my favorites are below...
