grandmothering in Alaska

 Time is the most valuable thing we possess.

The 8 year old bakes with me.

The eleven year old sets up the explorers version of Catan.
(Notice his baby quilt as wall art)

 I have started to sew the borders for Maia's quilt while visiting her cousins in Alaska.

We have been enjoying the sunny days.
The backyard sauna.
The neighbours. (and jamming with them)
Thanksgiving dinner.
The chickens.
The wildness near by.

Jack and I take turns drawing in my journal.
(my favourite grandmother activity)

The light at dusk is violet.
The mountains visible through the windows.
