Turn. Turn. Turn.

Alaska, beauty, Grief, Seasons, throughline, Window Thinking

Tomorrow is Ryan’s birthday which has become a marking point during our Alaska years – will we get our Anchorage winter snow pack started by his birthday? This year, it seems we have.

Alaska, beauty, hope, Seasons, Window Thinking

We’ve come through another dark winter here in Anchorage and light is returning  at a rate of nearly 6 additional minutes/day. This picture is from my walk at 8:30p, just after sunset last night.  Deep winter dark is behind us now and the 24/7 light is coming at us fast. I’ve lived the dramatic dark/light/dark/light …
