SNOW


After a week of heat we are now surrounded by snow. A Winter wonderland in Spring.



It's not that common to have snow close by so everyone celebrated out in the countryside. Fields were filled with very happy rosy cheeked children having snow fights and building snowmen. All the cars coming back from the outskirts had snowmen on their bonnets. It really was a wonderful day!

    Wow I never would have thought that you would receive snow in South Africa!!!

    and Your country side looks just like New Brunswick.. I am amazed!!!

    When you know that mountains of cold snow won't last for months.. It is much easier to enjoy it.. So Glad everyone did...

    Wait a minute! Aren't you going into summer? I'm totally confused. Although I suppose we have had a late Easter snow before. Aaggh. This just reminds me how much I'm dreading winter.

    I saw that title and thought, "Snow? In South Africa?" Of course it is a big place and could have that but just doesn't cross my mental image of the place! Great photos.

    Serious?! Snow! - I love the first two images - they look like calendar photos - we are starting to cool way down here - 39degrees this morning and the furnace is on - in another month I'll be sitting here with a fire going in the stove.

    These set of images are more like the ones you get to see on Skywatch. Like the sky and the snow, nicely captured

    i had no idea it snowed in your part of the world until now.

    did you know that we have these 'ironing men' who use heavy irons like the ones that you found in scrap. they use charcoal to heat it and nothing irons up clothes quite like these old irons do.i go to these men to iron up my cottons and linens. the irons themselves are such beautiful pieces.

    Thanks everyone for stopping to leave comments. Most of the snow has melted and now we gear ourselves for the heat again.


    Priya, I love the thought of these old irons being used and doing such a good job of it too.
