Please...Not MORE Snow......

This is the view from our new kitchen window. Very calming and picturesque. Except for one thing. IT IS SNOWING AGAIN. Nooooooooo!

Of course this shouldn't be a huge surprise given that we live in Finland, but come on, it is mid April now. ENOUGH!

I have been told at least a hundred times this week that spring is coming. What I want to know is, when?

I guess all we can do is live in hope. And that's the one thing that we should try not to lose. However dark the skies may seem some time. Hope is the one thing that makes tomorrow worth waking up for. And who knows? Maybe tomorrow the sun will shine, the birds will be singing, Cameron will have a shower, Lucie will do her homework and I will get to feel the way I felt at midnight last Friday night. Which was good. If you were there then you know why. Have a nice week everyone. Wishing you all sunshine wherever you are. And no more snow.

"Uusi lumi on vanhan surma". Is one finns proverb and it means, new wet snow is melting away the old snow.
It is true that this winter has been exceptionally long lasting. It began in early November, usually winter stars end of December.

Hi Jody, in Alsace it is the same : the winter seems not wanting to end this year... We still wake up with only -1 or +1 deggree, don't have more than 6-8 degree in the best days... It's always, grey, snowy, rainy...Normally we should begin to garden, to work outside without dufflecoats and gloves.... We are also waiting for sunny and warm days. Hope it will helps you to know that you're not alone in this case :-) lots'o warm love to you and your family, KATY

Hello Jody!
Hope and faith are something which we have to live through every day. They give us safety and support in our everyday life. And they help us to see love and feel happiness in our lives.
