English: Fireweed – Epilobium angustifolium (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The fireweed is in bloom, has been for
a couple of weeks now. I’ve longed to see it since I was here in ’94.
The Northern Lights are the only thing I still long to see here in
The Great Land now that I’m enjoying the fireweed!
The flowers are vibrant, bright pink
and tall, my Seester would love them! I hear tell there’s a place
down by Homer that has hills that are simply covered with the it and
it looks like the hills are on fire. I hope to see that soon.
Fireweed is our signal that summer is
nearing its end. Our daylight hours are already starting to wane.
This time next month we will really be noticing the difference.
Alaska on my mind...

When summer leaves, you’ll go from all light to not much light. Maybe the kids will be sleepy all the time then, and you can get a break! LOL!
