The winter touched Finland already this week, just a very gentle way, it only gave us some frost. Now the weatherman says real snow would possible start falling on Monday, though. It’s pretty exciting, right! Probably more exciting (odd) thing is that I am actually excited about winter first time in my whole life. Winter at my new home gonna be so amazing many ways. While waiting the winter arriving we have enjoyed of beautiful fall colors all around. It’s been breathtaking beautiful this year.
