60 degrees warmer
















Our cold snap finally broke, and today it is 61 degrees warmer than it was two weeks ago (but it was still below freezing). Our high today was +30 F compared to the low two weeks ago of -31 F here in Wasilla. Out in Tok, a town on the Alaska-Canada border, where we drove through on our way here back in April, they hit -80 F! That's the average temperature of Mars - and that's the next planet out!! So we have some warmer weather to enjoy for a while - but the warm weather brings the snow back. The moose have also been out and about quite a bit lately. Several days in a row we saw five moose walking around down the bluff from the house. I think the bitter cold brought them down to the flats in large numbers, in search of warmer temps and better browsing. Pics attached of the moose (Jolene putting the big lens to good use) and Landon in his Wall-E costume that he made from a box.
