It is spring! When you think Spring, you envision a warm sunny day, with the smell of fresh cut grass in the air and beautiful flowers popping up all over, unless you live in Alaska. Today it is a balmy 27 out, snowing like crazy, covering everything with yet another layer of the not so wonderful white stuff.  It is days like today that I wish I lived in the lower 48. Somewhere more tropical would be nice. Who am I kidding, at this point, I would take anywhere with a temperature above 60 right now. This winter seems to be lasting forever!  It is probably worse because I hold in my hot little hands, our HOUSE PLANS!!! As soon as the snow melts we can get started on building. So while I watch the snow get deeper with each passing day it seems like winter 2012-2013 is going to continue in to June, just to spite me.  So I did what every true masochistic Alaskan would do on the first few days of spring, while the snow is falling. I put on my new sandals and a tee shirt, went to the store and looked for patio furniture. EVENTUALLY I will need some, what better way to spend a fine spring day other then freezing your toes off looking for furniture you will have to wait a few months to set up. *Sigh*  I decided that some of you might appreciate a few pictures of our fine Alaskan spring. :)  Hope yours is MUCH warmer then ours!
