Our game-cam revealed Mr. Bullwinkle was also out strolling through our backyard.  Don’t know Mrs. and young Jr. were roaming.

    This pic of Dale Marshall and his 2023 Alaska State Fair winning 2,023  lb. pumpkin didn’t ‘squash’ his record 2,147 lb. behemoth of last year, but he appears somewhat satisfied.

    Looks like we’ll be on a jet headed south for the winter next week. Rather than spend the day going through another box of Kleenex today, I hiked up Castle Mountain to dry my tears 😊. I built a rock cairn on top with a Good Book pocket edition for other solitude seekers. Here’s a few…
