It's spring for real now. We're gaining daylight so fast my internal clock is completely derailed. It's already light out well after 9:00 and last week at Chena Hot Springs I dont think the last rays of sunlight were gone until 11:00. The rush of spring in Alaska is something I really missed living in warmer climates. It's also really amazing how warm 45 degrees feels after a long winter.

| More than a month ago. The first time it hit 45 in the sun on the south side of the house I just sat there for about 30 minutes enjoying the sun. |
 |
| After recharging i had to shovel of the deck. |
 |
| About a month ago. Hiking along the Turnagain Arm with Liz and Ali. |
 |
| Ali did pretty good climbing up the snow and rocks. |
 |
| Two weeks ago. Hiking above the Turnagain Arm again the day after Corrie and I returned from KS. |
 |
| Saturday's hike was so nice that I went right back down there again on sunday after dropping Corrie off at the airport. |
 |
| The first pussy willow are blooming! It's officially spring. |
 |
| The Cook Inlet looked like glass on my way south but I didn't stop for a picture. It was still pretty smooth on the way back. After climbing down behind a rock I almost couldn't hear the road. A perfect place to sit and think. |
