I woke up this morning to snow falling outside my window. Keep in mind I live on the ocean, and it's April, so this was quite a suprise... Then again, Southeast Alaska is all about surprises and unpredictability.
On Friday I actually got to use the expression, "I'm hot!" (and I wasn't referring to my looks either). It sounded so nice coming out of my mouth I had to repeat it a few times, adding gestures like placing a cold water bottle against my forehead, taking my socks off and wiggling my toes in the sunshine. Yes, folks, it was a warm day... 50 degrees and sunny. I wasn't the only Alaskan doing the sunshine dance... I went over to Ketchikan afterschool with 3 of my girlfriends for a night out on the town and it felt like summer. All over town people were walking around in tank tops and shorts, sandals, sunglasses. In a town famous for its liquid sunshine, it was quite the celebration.
Oh, but back to today... and the snow. I have to admit, I love suprises (and weather).
