Fireweed View of the Lake

The past week it has been everything thing from dead calm to windy enough to make the house shake. The other day I could all but lean into the wind without falling over. We've had a mix of sun and rain and cloudiness too. I'm learning quickly that in the north - things are what they are and happen when they do, but people have been fantastic about making me feel welcome. And as you can see - the view is not too shabby. Its actually quite a bit hillier than I expected. The western sky seems to stay a little light all night long, but I'm sure that won't stay that way for long.
