In An Instant It Was Green

Today I got up and went for a walk with my dog. Another rainy day and another day of waiting to get to Katmai Bay. Things looked pretty much the same. The trees were budding out and bits of grass were turning green. Then the Sun came out. It was an amazing transformation from this morning. The trees had suddenly leafed out and the grass was a lot more green. The walk home from work was like I had walked it the first time. The Eskimo River was lined in green voliage. I love the way nature looks after a thunderstorm. The lightening always greens things up but they don't get thunderstorms here. Just the rain and the sun. It made people in the neighborhood start planting their gardens. I think when I get back I will plant a small garden also. I hear that onions and potatoes grow great here along with lettuce.
