Summertime is here and it started me thinking about how much fun and adventures we Alaskans pack into this particular season.

In the five-element tradition, the season of summer correlates to the bright sparkly joy of life, the sound of laughter, play, and flowers in bloom reaching for the sun. It is the most yang season of the year and hopefully, if you have rested well through the yin winter months and stored enough energy... your reserves will be full to enjoy a spectacularly fun summer!
