The cold is unrelenting. Everyday the temperature is the same...cold! Whether sunny or cloudy, day or night - it always just feels the same. And it isn't even December yet!
Tomorrow I must start carrying my camera again. The ptarmigan have turned white and they look like little snowballs in the trees. The branches are frost covered, as are the ravens. And needless to say, people dress for the cold up here. Fur is everywhere. There are few coats that are not at least fur trimmed on the hood. This is a necessity rather than a luxury. There are many full fur coats out and about too, on both men and women. Fur boots, mitts and hats are everywhere.
Most of you know that July 28th is Annie & Luke's wedding date. We spoke last night and I got some of the details, dreams, and ideas. I am very excited. I am going to sew Annie's dress! She likes simple style and she has sent me something she likes, so hopefully I will not be out of my league. Its been awhile since I have undertaken a complex project. But I can't think of a project I would rather do! Other details will be forth coming, but those are hers to share, not mine. So I will close for now...and hopefully be back soon with some winter pictures.
