Well, summer has arrived. Though it’s somewhat an
exaggerative use of this warm and sunny word. The only things that makes it
feel like summer is the sound of mosquitos the smell of sunscreen and of course
the flourishing plant life.
The past few weeks have been greater than zero so it’s an
improvement, and temperatures have pushed up past 10 degrees in certain happy
moments. Though Iqaluit has been engulfed fog and drizzles from the humidity
off the melting ice.

I’ve found having to spend so much time on my hands and
knees, cross-eyed, trying to determine whether the hairs on this plant are
branched or stellate and whether this plants flower is cream or light yellow,
has given me an immense appreciation for the small.
