Tilt

Super light, super warm (OK, upper 30's), and super melt! I saw a flock of seagulls in the Inlet this week.


No, no , no - not THAT flock of seagulls. They've pretty much stayed on the water, but soon the seagulls come up onto land, and run all the ravens out. First sign of spring!

Sunset is already at 8:30, with light almost 45 minutes past that. The bears at the zoo came out of hibernation today! The wild ones will slumber a bit longer.

Considering the two feet it snowed two years ago the last week of April, anything is possible. But it sure as heck feels like spring!

Are you already planning your warm weather backpacking adventures? I can't imagine how people get their children to sleep with that much sunlight. How do you adapt your home, just blackout curtains, or is it a rough adjustment? As always, a little vacation to read what's going on up there -- 82* and sunny here today. Summer's on its way!

Hey Andrea - I am very much looking forward to some new adventures this summer! I hear it's darn near 90 in St. Louis - sounds WAY too hot to me. I actually spoke to someone recently on the light with kids - they said they don't block it at all, so the kids just live with it from day one. Being not a morning person myself, I tended to block it in the a.m. in the LFE anyway - now it's just on each end. Now if I could just simulate sunrise in December....
