Springtime in Alaska

Spring is here in Alaska, the snow is down to patchy piles here and there out where we live, which is actually in a cold strip, so after we get out and down the road a little ways, the snow is virtually non-existent. Lovely time of the year, starting to warm up, people are planting seed for their gardens, young loves are planning for their summer wedding programs, and there is a feeling in the air... one I feel every year at this time. Winter is coming.

No, don't laugh, I'm serious. Every year for several years now, as the snow melts away, I get gloomy thinking that it is only a brief reprieve and the winter will return in only a few short months. I suppose it is an Eeyore way of looking at the day, particularly one that is as lovely and sunny as this one is.

Post a Comment

NOTICE: I love trying to make this a good travel journal and while I know I fall short of my dream, I also spend a LOT of time pondering and rereading comments to see if I should post or delete as robot SPAM. So... a few rules on the comments.

I want anyone, not only Blogger members or Open ID members to be able to comment, however... Please sign your comment, if you do not it will not be published. Anonymous comments help no one and are unreliable.

Also, if you have a strong enough opinion to post a comment, please take time and make it informative - if you had a good time somewhere detail what you mean, don't just say "This place was great!!! Loved the buffet!", and if you had a lousy time please detail it, don't just say "This place sucked and the pool smelled! Ruined my vacation!" I want to feel as if you really were there when I read your comments.

If you have a website or blog where you detailed your experience it is even better, include a link to your website or blog - just make sure it is not to a SPAM site made to endorse/defame a location, because I will delete any that do not strike me as being legitimate personal sites.

Thank you for your help in making it easier for me to know what is robotic SPAM and what are real personal reviews.
