It's been the absolute pits for weather this summer in southcentral Alaska. We've had record amounts of cool temperatures and rain, and even with our "midnight sun" during the summer months, it's been gloomy and gray with all the constant clouds. I think we've only had 2 days over 75 degrees and it's been in the upper 40s and low 50s forever. Without much of a summer it kind of feels like we've had 12 months of fall, winter, and then fall again (22 months if you count this coming fall and winter)! UGH! HARUMPH! #&*%^$!!!
Okay- enough of my grumbling and boo-hooing. I've been trying to be optimistic about it and take advantage of this time to work on some projects indoors. I've made aprons, sewn curtains for almost every room in our house, and painted/redecorated our bedroom (a.k.a. love nest). I've still got lots and lots of ideas, things that need to be finished, and things that need to be started. I'll post some pictures after a bit. In the mean time, here's a glimpse of some summer fun our kidlets had on Independence Day- one of our very rare sunny days of the chilly summer of 2008!
