Today I got some good news from home. A winter hit my hometown (Perm). Lucky people actually have passed those rainy and sunny autumn days, and today they saw a first snow falling on their heads. It sounds kind of bizarre to me coz we don't get to see much snow here in Cyprus especially in October.:))) Besides, I still consider our weather kind of summery. The temperature hasn't been going any lower than 20 degrees Celsius.So, there my imagination started running wild. I realized how much I was looking forward to winter with it's cold days outside of the house and nice warm feeling in front of the fire place inside. Just imagine rushing to work/uni/home and feel a cold air against your skin and then getting inside the building/house and feeling your skin warming up slowly. Mmm, that would be a one nice dream to see tonight.
Anyways, just to cut the story short, I got very inspired by my mums story about their snowy day in Perm today and I decided to create a winter calendar. Unfortunately I didn't have much patience to finish it, but there is a rough work so you can imagine what it would look like when it's finished.
To end up my post I would like you to read this cute little poem called FIRST SNOW by Mary Louise Allen:
Beautiful feathery flakes of snow
Over the woodland and field they go
Making a blanket so warm and deep
Over the flowers that lie asleep
wow a lready snow..
ReplyDeletei wonder if we will see snow in amman this year
though we have a cold hous .. so its not very pleasent in winter days..
Well, as you can probably imagine apartments in Cyprus aren't very warm either. Luckily for us, our house has a central hitting (floor hitting). I dunno when the cold winter will come here tho, I am so looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when we went for a walk to downtown after lunch/dinner at Nandos? I saw a woman selling different fruits on the street and I got mandarins without even knowing what to do with that whole bunch of fruits :))))
I miss those winter days. There was certainly something magical in the air back then.
