Freezing temps, and snow in July seems to be a regular thing now for us in the Arctic. Yesterday it was raining and snowing at the same time. The times we live in!.

Me as a writer: Let me try and use words to make you hallucinate like I did while writing them. Reader: challenge accepted, I would pay for that.
