    It's really noticeable here because it's more like 6 months of spring

    Oh, so that's where all this sunshine is coming from. Don't worry, I'll send it back once "our" season is over. ;)

    Nice! Save some fresh, wild roe for me (or prepared salmon caviar/Ikura)! I’ve always wanted to try some (especially fresh from the source would be ideal!) I LOVE fatty, oily fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel, trout, herring, etc.) Brain food!

    hehe, very little fat in salmon though, except around the eggs
    Lost a 1st cousin yesterday to the scourge that is opioid addiction. I wish people would see it as a public health problem instead of a reason to toss people in jail.
    Watching a race today from across the continent that has half of my family in the grandstands
    The daylight hours are starting to get really weird up here...

    Where are you in AK? I did a construction project in Naknek for 6 weeks. All the windows in our sleeping quarters had black out shades so people could sleep. It was cool tho, we worked 18 hours a day!

    I just admire from afar! :) Nowhere to grow where I live now. My grandmother had Digitalis everywhere in her garden when I was little- ‘Look, don’t touch!’… I remember later all the news stories about ‘Jimson Weed’ poisonings from kids eating the seeds off of plants found by the highway around where I once lived… On to middle school with the Goth girl next to me who was obsessed with tales of ‘smitten love & poisoned potions’...

    where she was always talking about deadly kinds of plants… Then came the interest in Wormwood (stupid teen years) & dreams of making my own Absinthe, but found it was just easier (before being re-legalized) to order authentic Swiss & French versions via semi-underground online sources. So yeah… just admire.

    Ah! Awesome journey!!! I'm also into homeopathy, and find it fascinating that 'poisonous' substances can actually heal (with the correct dilutions! haha)! I planted Mirabilis last year to deter deer and other critters. Kinda worked, but I suspect a few deer got belly aches! haha
    Funny that the weather app on my phone shows grass, I haven't seen grass since October
    Set up the grow tent this week, plants are happier already
