	Gardening at 10pm

Posted by: jitterymoose, 6:32 AM GMT on June 29, 2009

Rain's stopped. It's been a nice, sunny day, a little breezy, and only about 70°F at its warmest. It's just about 10pm, the sun is shining, and there's no way I can go to sleep yet, so I'm treking out the garden to water a bit. The potatoes are up, I'm going to have to build a trellis for the sugar snaps before we leave on Thursday, and the cucumbers really don't like where they are. That's a bit of a bummer.

Hope everyone's having a great night! JM

	No Cap and Trade?

I'm disappointed. No rants and raves (or cheers and support) in the blog-o-sphere of the Wunderground for this. I think it's the second coming of the Benedictine idea of selling indulgences -- remember from High School history? Some people were soooooo good and holy that they had excess good and holy just dripping off them, so they could sell that excess good and holy to those poor schleps who were just plain evil and that would balance everything out so they'd g...

	Over 1" of rain, but the sun's out now

Posted by: jitterymoose, 4:02 AM GMT on June 24, 2009

...just in time for bed! :-) It was nice and dark-ish an cool all day (we're up to 52°F at the moment, and the daytime high was around 42°F until the sun came out!). 1.09" of rain at the airport. Over 3" of rain up on the Chatanika (flood watches continue). The garden looks great, but my poor tomatoes look drowned. Had to bring them in to get them out of the rain. At least it's helped the fire fighters and will (hopefully) keep the interior fires down. It ...

	The day between the birthdays

Posted by: jitterymoose, 5:47 PM GMT on June 19, 2009

Son turned 12 yesterday, daughter turns 9 tomorrow. Ah... a day without cake (and ice cream!). I'm recovering from what I'm hoping is just a badly wrenched shoulder. I was walking Katie, I was talking to my daughter and holding the dog's leash loosely, there was another dog I didn't see coming toward us and acting aggressively and WHAM! Katie whipped around me and pulled me down before I knew what was happening. Ow, ow, ow. You get as close to 45 as I am and i...

	Scattered Deluges

Posted by: jitterymoose, 3:35 AM GMT on June 16, 2009

...and this is ridiculous.... We headed out to Twin Bears for an afternoon of fishing yesterday -- it was sunny when we left Fairbanks, and we knew we were headed into clouds. We pulled into Twin Bears, broke out the fishing poles, got under the picnic shelter to tie on the flies and KABOOM! Thunder, lightening, HAIL, heavy rain (pics to follow) and it went on for nearly 1/2 an hour -- heavy, heavy rain. When it finally stopped, the bugs were out with a vengeance...
