At Home in Homer, Alaska – Final Haiku

Alaska summer
We arrived in Homer, June 18th, in the afternoon. Our trip was blessed with good weather, no accidents, or car mishaps. The drive was challenging for me but a good introduction to Alaska driving. The beach is just across the street from our apartment and provides a relaxing and refreshing seaside walk. Across the bay are mountains, active volcanoes, and glaciers.
The library, where I’m posting from today, is filled with art, native Alaska wood, and creative metal carvings. The post office has stained glass window designs of eagles and the sea. Today we attended a street art fair and met several friendly artists and welcoming members of the Homer Arts Council. So, even though we’re still sleeping on the floor on our thin mats and sleeping bags, we do feel at home and fortunate to be living in such a beautiful town.
We call this Brian’s Beach
And Sky’s sea and mountains

Congrats on making to your new home, safe & sound!
Thanks.
So happy to hear that you arrived safely. Thanks for taking us along on your fantastic journey!
Looks like a spectacular place to live and work. Endless inspiration for you both as artists. And as much adventure as you dare to take on. Be well and happy there.
Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure. I’m glad you arrived safely and look forward to reading more words inspired by those mountains across the way.
Today our “stuff” arrives, so we’ll end more than a week of sleeping on the floor. I start nursing on Wednesday – and we’re still waiting for Internet to connect at home. But, it’s still beautiful and I’m happy to be settling in. Thanks for following and your participation in the journey with your comments.
What a view from your balcony! Thanks for sharing your exciting journey; a street art fair must have been a great welcome to your new home, too!
Yes the view is wonderful, the fair a great welcome. Soon, we’ll be back online at home. Thanks for following and your kind comments.
Hooray! You are finally at HOME!
Yes, today over a week of sleeping on the floor ends with the arrival of our “stuff.” Start work on Wednesday and soon will have internet at home and be posting and following in a week or so. Thanks for taking the journey with us.
Blessed be your new home. I am glad you made in safe. I changed WP sites, so you may need to re-follow me.
Thanks for sharing, the views, and the tale of epic adventure….
Thanks for following Sean. I’m sitting here looking out at green hills and blue sky from my room and every morning the sea greets me. Now, it’s back to nursing – and of course more poems to come.
How much has the story changed for you with the new location? It’ll interesting to listen to some new versus.
Sean, so far it’s really a good story. Been busy settling in and today began working. We’re happy.
Good job making it in one piece. Now enjoy what appears to be incredible scenery and northern exposure!
Wow!!! All the very best my dear. Lots of inspiration to write and share for sure.
