Strange weather lately
May certainly was a strange month for weather. We had boiling hot days, thunderstorms, random downpours and even a hailstorm!
June is at least staying consistent, albeit horribly so. It's been cold and wet making it kind of unpleasant to be outside. However, being the proud Pacific North Westerner I am, I'm not letting it so me from going out. Even if it is just to take out the garbage.

Golden Week
Well, another Golden Week has come and gone. This time around I survived a lot easier due to the fact that the 29th fell on a Tuesday, effectively making Golden Week only one long weekend instead of two.
Karuizawa is showing the signs of spring time now and not just with a lot of rain. Flowers are blooming and even the birds have built their nest in our bushes again; though I have to give our neighbour, Hotel Wellies, the lions share of the credit for that due to their constant diligence in maintaining a veritable smorgasbord of bird feed.
Things are slowing down again as we get ready for the best season this summer. I like to think of this time of year as the calm before the storm, because before I realize it, it will be almost unbearably hot out and we will be running at full capacity again.

My apologies
It's been quite a while again. I haven't been the most busy person in the world but I've been running into a few obstacles when it comes to updating this blog.
The first one is that most of the pictures taken to be used here are on some one else camera and sometimes that can take a while to get them emailed to me. As most of what happens here would greatly benefit from photographic evidence, I have felt that not using pictures would be a disservice to those that read the blog.
Mostly however, the main obstacle preventing me from posting, is my desire to post original content. Being that every thing that I go see or do is as part of a group, coupled with the pictures scenario, it almost always appears on the main page first. I don't want to turn this blog into something that just reposts what has been seen on our main page.
With that in mind, please be patient with me as I try to find something that I can use for just the blog itself.
Thank you for your patience.
Bryan.
