A Little Late

My hope and goal was to write at least once per month, this post comes about 6 weeks after my last which is pretty good considering I had over a year between posts last time. 

The snow is finally starting to melt and the temperature is trying desperately to warm up.  I have lived in this great state for 35 years and this is the latest spring I ever remember.  I know I live in Alaska, and should be used to cold weather, but I'm not, in fact I detest it and look forward to April EVERY SINGLE YEAR!!!  This April was a bit chilly.  The worst was that it started to warm up and then with out fail would snow again, and again. It didn't help that my DH was able to escape to Puerto Rico and southern CA during the month of April.  No fair!!

Last year at this time we were out on the river in our boat, but this year the ice has yet to go out.  We are still waiting for the ice to go out.  In fact the Nenana River ice has not gone out either.  I believe this is going to be the 2nd latest ice classic date ever.  I guess it still could be the latest as the ice hasn't gone out yet.  I am OVER winter and ready for the warm weather.

Zoe and I have done a couple of races and they have been pretty chilly.  Zoe is becoming quite the runner.  She ran a 5K last week in 30 minutes!! Way to go Zoe!! I am so proud of her.  We are hoping to get out this evening but it is very windy and chilly out.  We'll see, depends on how much I want to bundle up.  

This picture was taken at the very end of April after we had already uncovered the deck furniture.  UGH!
