If it weren't so cold up there, I'd consider that cute 6.72 acre cottage!

Hello Debra Leisek - thanks to you, I always learn something new about the great State of Alaska! Your photos always tease me and cause me to think about moving to Alaska. Your photograph is gorgeous! I did not know you can tell when winter is coming by the fireweed blooms. That is very interesting. 

Those homes and lots for sale are all very tempting!

They used the Fireweed blooming to the top as a way to gauge the summer season ending.  They also would start school around it and say 6 weeks till school starts and let everyone enjoy the last days of summer. They dont do that anymore and school is starting next week! Thank you Patricia Feager

Oh my goodness, Debra... what a beautiful photo. So are you saying winter arrives at your end in six weeks? I can't imagine it.

Long before weather channels Alaskans would gauge the end of the summer season by the fireweed blooming to the top. They would also start school 6 weeks after the blooms turn to cotton. It isn't certain winter starts in 6 weeks but it is coming!! Thank you Nina Hollander, Broker

Debra, what a stunning reminder of Alaska’s natural rhythms. The fireweed blooming to the top is such a beautiful signal of the changing seasons. Your description captures both the rugged beauty of Homer and the deep roots Bay Realty has in the community. Fifty-one years of service is truly something to celebrate!
