Winter fast approaches up here in the interior with temps dropping below freezing most days now. The freezer is full with salmon, frozen blueberries and raspberries, pesto, and moose. D spent yesterday afternoon splitting firewood. I think we are just about ready... just need to order a new pair of Steger mukluks and sew a fleece lining into some knit mittens. We need to throw some wax on our skis as well.

 With the drop in temperature comes the season of knitting by the wood-stove with mug after mug of tea! Summer in Alaska is beyond wonderful but it doesn't mean I don't enjoy winter just as much.
