It’s been raining in Juneau since Election Day. The forecast calls for more of the same for the next week. Today, it is also windy. Aki and I enjoy a calm respite on the forest trail near Outer Point. We pass several new downed spruce, all toppled by recent storm winds. One floods the trail with resin perfume. The usual gang of gulls occupies the beach when we reach it. Just off shore surf scoters and harlequin ducks fish in a protective storm lee like they did yesterday, last week, last month. Nothing short of a shotgun blast can disturb them. Aki wants to return to the dark woods and then home. But I still linger in the calm.
Walking with Aki 
you forgot the an “I” when you said Aki and enjoy. Do you see it? I don’t think you noticed it before you posted it. Always go back and read it slow and fix any mistakes. Just a heads up.
I almost forgot in the very last sentence you miss spelled “Still.” Just making sure you knew this. You’re welcome. 😀
I also just made two mistakes myself. Lol, I’m a goofball. Haha
thanks
You are quite welcome.
