Almost Fall...

Just the other day, Andy noticed that the leaves are starting to turn yellow on the birch trees. August seems way too early for fall, but there you go, every year it starts around the end of the month. 

While we haven't had a frost yet in the hills, some of the low lying areas around town have.

It's time to start harvesting potatoes. This is just the first row of reds. We've also been eating a lot of broccoli, swiss char, and zucchini lately. When it's ripe, it's gotta go!

Andy harvesting more potatoes. While the Yukon Golds haven't been as productive as the reds, hope springs eternal for the rest of the crop. The corn may also produce edible ears, but will need some warmer weather this month to get it to ripen. Hope for the best while expecting the worst, that's the Alaskan way!
