The "S" words

There are two words that seem to be escaping from people's lips with greater and greater frequency these days...Spring and Summer. It feels more and more like spring everyday and I've already started making plans for summer. It is in the air, everyone is saying those two little S words. It has been above freezing for three days in a row and the snow is melting. Slush season is upon us. March, technically, is the end of winter, with the first day of spring being March 21st, but March usually stills brings winter weather. April has even been known to bring hard hits of winter weather. We will be turning the clocks ahead on Saturday night (the 8th, dont forget to "spring forward").

SPRING...doesnt that sound nice?

So, there is still one thing that concerns me...Bethel's average snow fall is around 56inches per year and we've only gotten about 30inches. So, where's the other 26inches?

SSSSUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR! There, I said it!

Summer, just say it Alisha, say it out loud, Ssssssuuuuuummmmmmerrrrrr. God! Doesn't that sound good? Doesn't it just roll of the tongue so beautifully. You know they say the sweet wouldn't be so damn farkin sweet without the bitter. And oh God how bitter the cold is up here. Maybe we have to endure this frigid arctic hell so that the summer is 100 times more magnificent.

Summer is my favorite season, forever. But it is only my favorite because it is so ironically tragically short and annual.
Happy Spring Alisha Disha, we're almost there!
