Fuchsia-colored Fireweed blossoms near the very tops of their stalks, leaves coloring with autumn, mark the calendar at mid to late August at The Lake. Initially, we attempted to save a little money by cramming ourselves into a one-bedroom apartment but soon found we were spilling out of that and moved into a larger two-bedroom place. But this was the view from that first place, looking down the lake toward the beginning of Chignik River. Maybe 60 people living in the village at the time, Sockeyes still running strong, the first Silvers beginning to trickle in. Bears on the beach nearly every day. Still, in mid-August, 15 hours of daylight. It was glorious. Our back yard. Home. 8/15/16
