Secondly, I spotted this cool sculpture thingy in the library yesterday:
Isn't it awesome? I love the nekkid light bulb. It was made by one Kelly Lowry.
Thirdly, a flock of birds took off yesterday. Isn't it kind of early?
Fourthly, the rain that broke our horrid hot spell brought a double rainbow!
It sharpened up as soon as I lost my clear view!
After the storm, my commute home:
Fifthly, I found a way to consume arugula quickly--wilt it! Pasta with wilted arugula and pesto made with basil from Rosie Creek Farm:
Sixthly, I framed my green wood shelter last night. Now I just have to add supports and some walls:
Seventhly, here is my beautiful green birch I'm in the middle of splitting:
Finally, here is an absolutely hysterical article that highlights the joys of living in Fairbanks. This was the headlining news story as of this morning, y'all. My favorite line is:

Please be very careful when working with your wood, wear gloves, goggles and don't hurt your back. I hurt mine in early 30's and it became a reoccurring event to me.
if the briefs came with the outfit...!? Hahaa!
Green wood shelter looking good - how'd you sink the posts into the permafrost? Or do you have to deal with permafrost? Ahhh, I see you ordered the green wood after all!
Have you been able to see any good aurora borealis(whatever the plural form is?) or not enough darkness yet?
Still no darkness! I don't have permafrost on my little hill, but even if I did, there is generally a 5-10 ft "active layer" on top of the permafrost that thaws every summer and freezes every winter. It's only the stuff underneath that is permanently frozen. That being said, I didn't drive anything into the ground. I'm using the tree for support. :)
