Winter continues to lurk around.  Certainly not the winter I remember from Alaska.  But oh how I long for the warming of the sun.  I've learned this winter that cabin fever is not reserved for Alaskans only.  Last summer my words were, "I can't wait for winter".  Well sitting in a little shack of a house with no cooling system on solar power which could not handle even a portable swampcooler was pure hell.  Most would be more than miserable wishing for winter. Relief came around 3:00 a.m.  Summer was almost the death of me.  Winter has meant propane for heating.  The cost of propane is almost the death of anyone.
