The Golden Tundra....and "The Face"

The tundra is turning gorgeous colors of red, yellow, and orange. The blueberries are definately finished--What was our first clue, you ask? Our hands turned purple from the blueberries bursting apart in our hands while trying desperately to shove the last few into our mouths. Surprisingly, even though everything is changing colors, the blackberries and cranberries still cover the ground. The weather has been rainy and WINDY--like so windy that driving anywhere means getting pelted not only with rain, but whatever else happens to be in the air (ie--lemmings, large muskrats, and small children).

Below is a picture of "The Face" which is carved into a rock on the beach. No one knows who carved the picture. It washed up on shore sometime last year. Our friends, Damon and Heidi were told by a kid that if you touch the face your "Anuk" will get hard (yes, my friends, hard poo is what you would have to look forward to).
Always the maverick, Nick not only had to touch the rock, but kissed it as well. All right, Nick didn't touch "The Face" wanting nothing to do with hard anuk any more than any one else. "I am not a rebel," Nick was heard to say, posing next to the picture. Anyway, the face is a pretty cool sight to see. I wonder who carved it.....I am thinking of a new writing project for my students....(lucky them)!!
