Part of my walk to the University.
I wasn't kidding when I said it is "woodsy"
I woke up this morning to go for a run, and instead found this! A nice blanket of snow. There was about 5 inches on the ground when I woke up, and it has continued to fall slowly throughout the day. I am excited because... 1. It is Sweden, and it only seems natural for there to be snow. 2. Everyone from home has been asking me if there is snow, and I have had to respond with a disappointing "no". 3. All of the people who have been cross-country
skating in Karlstad can now go cross-country
skiing :). And, 4. When there is snow, everything is brighter! So hopefully at 4:00 pm it won't be quite as dark as usual.
The only downfall is that I do not have any heavy snow boots. But...as I found out on my way here, the roads and walkways were all cleared this morning. So there you have it!
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure. I'm looking forward to following along on your adventure. As a knitter, I have to ask - how are the sweaters and mittens. Any neat yarn shops?
Take care - Aunt Chris
Hi Aunt Chris!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found the site! I have not seen any yarn shops yet, but I would not be surprised if there is one. I will be sure to keep an eye out for one! I'll let you know what I find :)
