May has been on and off crappy weather. The rivers are really low so the runoff hasn't gotten up to speed yet. Meanwhile, the greening of the country side is behind schedule too. The result is a very lazy approach to yard work as I don't have the usual feeling that I'm way behind. I did get the house on the market again and the pictures (same as last year) are from mid summer and remind me of how far we have to go. Here's the link to the listing.
321 Lupine listing
The hooligan have started showing up and the arctic terns and bald eagles are all over feeding on them. That means the buluga whales and king salmon can't be too far behind. The sandhill cranes and rest of the migrating birds are everywhere. So it seems the fauna are right on schedule even if the flora are a bit behind. Works for me.
Tony and I saw a juvenile bald eagle snatch a rabbit up from the roadside yesterday. Ahhhhhh, spring time in Alaska.
Teri and I made a couple of trips to Homer to see Jake play high school soccer. Grandkids in high school, yikes!!
Hope all is well out there in the rest of the world.
Stay safe.
