Green up day.

 It was the warm weather- on sunday morning we woke up to green trees.  I have 2 or 3 photos in my camera,  and they will prabably stay there for aday or 2 yet.  Sunday was a lovely 70 something degree day  so everyone  was outside, and not inside blogging. 

 Monday the floods  arrived,   all the snow melted  in the 4 warm days flat. The Chena is very high, currently running with no more ice,  it all went down stream.   The Chena runs into the Tanana, the Tanana runs into the Nenana. The Nenana runs into the Yukon, so all our ice ,  plus a whole lot more is currently headed down the Yukon.

 the town of  Eagle has almost been taken out by its own ice. and Circle waits with baited breath tonight to see what their fate is.
