Was out of town for 3 weeks;rained most days in Juneau and temps below late Spring/early Summer normal-mostly 40's' grasses lush and green, profusion of dandelions along the roadside have bloomed and now look ready to seed. Most family gardens lagging, garlic up and a few potatoes starting but no carrots. Wild blue berries, red huckleberries tiny hard and green despite so many early blossoms and more bees this year. Salmon berries also not past the hard green stage...concerns for this year people subsistence and bear foraging. 'Coldest wettest season' in 50 yrs living here. Many discouraged locals and mixed feelings from hordes of cruise visitors. Immature bald eagles beginning to congregate along the coast near streams(anticipating salmon return?)Many black bears along the road and crossing our neighborhood...several sows with last year cubs and one nearby with this year cubs. Deer shy, one doe seen with two very tiny fawns. Snow pack on the Chilkats looks like end of August rather than June...concerns for hydropower and sustained stream/river levels for salmon return.
