My brother recently asked me if it ever gets warm up here in Alaska. Were he to ask Janelle, I think that he might hear a resounding negative. The cool temperatures are one of the reasons that I wanted to move here. Still, this past June has been cooler than I expected.
Today, we had a rare break in the seemingly ever present clouds that warmed us up to the mid sixties. For me, that is perfect shorts weather. It was nice enough that I was able to get most of the lawn mowed (I need a second battery so I can keep mowing when one runs out of charge). We also received the straps we needed to finally hang up our hammock. Thus, I spent a little while "testing" it out, just enjoying being outdoors (with some mosquito swatting).
However, the next few weeks are projected to see temperatures in the fifties. Gone are the long term forecasts of seventy degree temperatures (although they can still pop up if the sun gets enough time on stage). While I prefer this to the warmer summers of Michigan or the downright hot summers in other areas, this does make it less likely that I will go swimming in any nearby lakes.
