Another day of my pattern since getting back from the wilderness: wake, coffee, work on photos and blog. Spent all day again on this project with a brief break to stop by the park visitors center and measure the windows I'll be painting tomorrow. I cooked dinner again tonight, shrimp scampi with rye sours. For a while there was blue sky right over town, while the rest of the sky on all sides looked like death, or that's how Tyler described it. It was terribly gloomy and made for a stark contrast with the blue overhead. But as the night goes on, no vivid colors, just slowly growing clouds and dimness. Up until 3am again, but this time to finish catching up on my blog. Happy to have accomplished this before the NPS centennial Thursday. Tomorrow should be a fun, creative day.

Dinner.

Drinks.

Another long day of photograph sorting and blog updating with a break after lunch to help Tyler pull out the park's art supplies and start assembling things for the workshop I'm teaching next week and some window painting for the centennial this week.

For dinner I took the leftover broth from the caribou roast, added a mix of vegetables, some sauteed onions, peppers, and broccolini, black beans, and the bits of caribou meat left. Then I made egg noodles like my grandma and great aunt made/make.

After dinner was more blog work. Around 10:30 I saw color in the clouds outside. For the first time in days it's not raining and completely cloudy/foggy. There was a strip of sky at the horizon, and I grabbed my cameras and ran down to the ocean.

Even more blogwork after that, until after 3am. Dozing off while typing is a sign that one needs to sleep.
