Gorgeous weekend weather

We've had such beautiful weather here the past week or so, it's a nice change from the rain.  I've been seeing lots of pictures on Facebook of the northern lights, which we don't see as often here as other parts of Alaska, since it's so often cloudy. 

Yesterday morning we took Seca for a walk in the fog.  You could tell it was going to be nice once the fog burned off, but until it did, it was chilly, quiet, and very...still.  You could hear bird chirping, but there wasn't even a ripple on the lake.  

Then, last night we had a big bonfire in the backyard fire pit, using up a bunch of small scrap wood.
