Summer Solstice

June Solstice (Summer Solstice) is on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 3:08 PM in Juneau. Today (June 19) we'll gain 15 seconds of daylight, tomorrow only 5 seconds, then on Thursday we start losing a little daylight everyday.  Fine with me.  It's a little strange to get up in the middle of the night to let the dogs out at 2:30 am to find the sky lightening and the birds singing!  Crazy!

May was the 4th coldest May in recorded history.  However, Saturday's forecast calls for 80 degrees!  Looks like it's going to be a beautiful weekend...
