Summer

Summer is here like I'm in this photo: sort of.

The weather is trying to be summery. There are a few timid mosquitoes about and the plants are getting taller than me, if you can believe it. Down by the river the fisher people have taken up their positions and I visited a few today. I almost managed a complete search of an open rucksack before I was booted from one fishing site. People can be so stingy with their snacks!

Tonight there was a thunderstorm storm. Because this is the Far North this summer storm included falling ice. We must need a touch of winter in everything! I keep thinking I should have held on to my winter coat but it is included in several bird nests by now. My Person insisted on brushing me in the back yard and the chickadees have been flying off with beakfuls of my red dog fur. Maybe next winter they'll lend me a few feathers for my pillow!
