Our days are warming up to the 50's, people are cleaning up their yards and the City has "Free Dump Days". SkiJor Teams go out to the trails to clean up the dog poop from a Winter of cross country skiing the trails with their dogs. Everybody in Anchorage gets in on the Spring Clean up: Scouts, families, Rotary, Corporate Managers!
You get a bright orange vest, a stash of bright orange heavy duty trash bags, all from the Municipality. Then you and your group go along the roads, the highways, the neighborhoods to pick up the trash. Just leave those filled bags along the roadside and the Municipality picks them up.
Really gives us a sense of Community here in Alaska. There's none of "....well that's not my job" when it comes to taking care of our beautiful City and our Wondrous State.
Today is a gloomy Spring day, maybe it will rain and wash away the soot and sand of Winter.
My hurtin' body sure tells me that the Weather is changing. Gardeners, who started their plants, flowers, vegies, indoors from seed, are beginning to set them out during the day to harden them off.
The general rule of thumb for planting is: the end of May or when the leaves on the Birch trees are the size of mouses ears!
There are mostly pussy willows along the back of where I live, and the soft little kittens are on the trees now. :)
Lunch time! L8TR G8TR
