winter adventures

Haines doesn't seem to know what season it is. Last week was pretty clear. Then Thursday it snowed a couple feet. Friday it rained and melted a lot, but not all of the snow. Then a couple random bits of freezing and thawing later, everything is just one big sheet of ice. But, as Alissa (the sister-in-law) put it, I have almost survived my first Alaskan winter. And there is something to be said for that.
