it's a cool, cool summer

Not a Bananarama cruel, cruel summer.  But a thus far cool, cool summer.  June 4th, and it's only 48° F outdoors.  I'm ready for a warm up.  Not hot weather, mind.  I never desire hot weather.  I would, however, like to stop wearing thick winter socks and sleeping with multiple blankets.  'Tis Alaska, I know, but geez.

Who isn't complaining about the cool weather?  Our garden perennials and annuals.  They seem to be thriving.  There's the bright spot in temperatures being ten-ish degrees below "normal."
