I won't say this has been the summer from H*E*double hockey sticks as far as weather goes, but it has been quite cloudy. And wet. And cold... It's august already, and as all good alaskans know, once the fireweed blooms out, there's only six more weeks til winter-- which makes the possibility of any more sunny weather seem practically nonexistent. So my best recommendation is, buy yourself some SUNFLOWERS-- any kind! They are great big spots of warmth and sunshine, and with proper care, they'll last until you're sick of them( 10 days or so). When I retire and live somewhere with a growing season, I'm going to grow pots of them all over the deck -- some for me, and some for the birds. In the meantime, sunflowers on my workstation!
