Rain Rain Rain Rain Rain



I know,  I live in Southeast Alaska.

I know, Southeast Alaska is a rain forest.

I know, it rains a lot here.

I know, the rain makes everything beautifully green and lush.

I know, the rain keeps the streams and waterfalls full and magnificent and good for the returning salmon.

I know, the rain makes the flowers bloom and the grass grow (and grow, and grow - our front yard looks like Vietnam).

I got it.

But for the love of God and everything that is holy....

Can we just have some sun and warmth?  Just for a week or two?  And not for just a couple of hours?  Please?

Please?

    I feel your pain! Spring just won't happen here either.

  2. I didn't know you lived in a rain forest! I always thought Alaska was wide open spaces and lots of snow (and I did think the snow was all year, until I started reading your blog).

    Hope you get your sunshine soon.
