For those of you who are experiencing a very dry winter, I thought you might like to see what the moisture you’re missing has been getting up to here in Alaska.

A New Year’s Eve walk

December 31st, 2011 by Savannah · about local

We’ve had—maybe I’ve mentioned this already—really dismal weather for a lot of this winter so far. A few days ago, however, the rain at least turned to snow. Snow always seems a lot more fitting in the winter at this latitude, I feel. And today, the sun rose into a clear, crisp sky (3F!)

The gift-making post

December 26th, 2011 by Savannah · about craft, holiday, Kaylee

Now that the holiday is over, I can reveal a few of the things I’ve been working on in addition to such knitting as I’ve been doing for Sue, the library monkey (she got a jaunty poinsettia-ornamented hat band).

I made two gifts for my sister. The first is a Lacy Baktus made in stripes of two colors of the same yarn. Susan actually bought this yarn for herself back when she toyed with knitting and before she figured out that to move beyond knitting rectangles took a whole lot more investment of time and energy. I didn’t have a particular project for it, so decided it could go back to her once knit up.

So, while waiting for winter to recommence

December 19th, 2011 by Savannah · about Anchorage, holiday, house, Kaylee, RCAC

There have been plenty of indoor things to keep busy with even though the sleet and slush are pounding the outside of the windows.

For example, there’s been some good eating going on with the holiday festivities.
food!

The weather outside is frightful

December 19th, 2011 by Savannah · about local, weather

I’d apologize for not posting so much lately, but the truth is that I’ve not been taking many photos, either. And it’s not for lack of interest. No, it’s simply not been all that exciting-looking out.

We had some good, early snow last month that got everyone all looking forward to a nice white (and insulated) winter. It was so pretty.
