two years ago today

Today Mendenhall subdivision, mainly sunny and plus 10 Celsius

And plus ten this time of year is! and feels! Hot!

Two years ago on the same day, I hiked up Stony Creek, only a little snow around the krumholz, the east slope polished by  sun and wind, and  the trail lower  deteriorating pretty fast as you see.




And for today I ran up the hill/mountain, in the back here
to see
if  a crocus was blooming.
almost
if the kinnikinnick was blooming
not quite

What I saw

an exploded puffball
and
a peek into a little creek
and
no sight of the volcano spewing ash in Alaska
but still far enough views, some 100 km away, in the direction of Haines jct.

from left to right: Martha black, Archibald, 2 peaks belonging to Decoeli, Decoeli, and Paint mountain below Decoeli.
And what? could  that be the Alsek river 
FLOWING
you see it?
Ehhh It is even warmer in Haines jct, so could it be ....

nono say Don, that is white snow...and looking at maps it might be Thunderegg creek

Happy Easter

yesterday's feather

Happy Easter to everybody in the world.
Listening to the news while boiling eggs, 
why don't we hear news about
good stuff.
here all is peaceful :) but also, I have a friend in Jordan
and Jordan as I understand is quite a peaceful country.

hmmm maybe I can encourage you here to share peace for you there somewhere in the world.

My husband and I here cooking breakfast
peacefully
and with neighbours I am on facebook, we are stepping outside and sharing the weather.
how the temperature is sometimes here above zero
or just under
snowflakes where here
and now there
the colors in the sky
Sue closer to the sun then I am
by a fraction

cleaning is cleansing




The tension of friends coming over,
not in a bad way,
a slight zooming sensation in the body
Don says,
"Are they coming?"
"I suppose so."
soon enough all is happy chatter and peace returns to my body.

Not wanting to give up

I do want to keep blogging...Maybe a new template will do it
And posting last years photos as I am organizing them, and being now a year behind, the pictures will still be in season. March 12, 2015
