I know, I know, I have complained and complained about the weather that last couple months; but the crazy Alaskan weather gods have struck again! To be honest, this isn't something that would be all that surprising to someone who actually lives in Alaska. There is always this false lull of spring weather when it slightly warms and the snow starts to gradually melt away. And this starts a process in the brain, of anyone who has spent 6 months in cold temperatures and deep snow, where you start to crave; the sunshine, warmth, and colors. And you can almost taste the spring/summer activities you will soon be doing; camping, fishing, wildflowers, berry gathering, wildlife viewing, and any other outdoor activity you can think of. And as soon as your daydreams start taking over, BAM! Old man winter weather drives a MACK truck right over top of you and drops over 6 inches of snow on you in a short 24 hour period. And it makes you just a little bit crazier than you already are!! So since I am riding the crazy train I decided to share a photo of what I am dreaming of; SUMMER!
