How To Enjoy The Snow?

The street on a freezing day in Hämeenlinna

Most of you are aware of my excitement towards winter and snow. Can't really blame you as I'm starting to sound like a broken record. haha. Anyway, I have never considered winter as my favourite season because I find something positive in all of the season. However, at the moment I'm trying to enjoy the snowy winter to the fullest, especially because the weather forecast has been promising some rain for this week. If that came to reality, my heart would be saddened. Of course, there needs to be a time for the snow to melt away, but it's not yet. I haven't been able to enjoy the beautiful sparkly snowy days enough yet. So, what have I been doing to enjoy the winter?

1. Photographing 

Taking pictures is always great, especially when the weather is nice and the company great. During that specific day it was so cold outside that my fingers froze, but that was only a minor setback which was forgotten easily.

2. Cross-country Skiing 

Yay! I've been able to enjoy cross-country skiing a bit, but I wish I could ski much more within this winter. I hope we get more snow soon and perfect temperatures to enjoy this lovely sport.

Ready to go cross-country skiing

3. Walking

I'm normally not a big fan of walking, but when the scenery is nice, then it's totally worth it.

4. Standing in the snowfall 

What could be better than to admire the snowfall outside, when it's happening in a shooting way in all its beauty?

5. Ice-skating

I hadn't been ice-skating for approximately 2-3 years, so it was about a time to go again. I've never been such a fan of ice-skating, but it is still something nice to do occasionally.

6. Ice-fishing

This was something totally unexpected - Tiia ice fishing, really?!?!? I'd say it was an experience, more positive than I may have thought. I can understand how some people can do it almost daily, because it may have a calming effect on people. It can create a mental state, where you can think about everything or decide not to think at all. I recommend you to try it out!

7. Looking through the window

Sometimes I find myself looking out from the window for a time period that feels short, but may actually be from the longer end.

How have you been enjoying this season??

Day through pictures - part1

Hello! :) I wanted to try out a new way to get some content on my blog. I hope you enjoy these pictures, I may do more posts like this. 

The day started by hearing the rain against the roof. It was so grey outside, cloudy and windy also. Breakfast was first and then reading our newspaper called 'Hämeen Sanomat'. 

Who would have guessed the weather changing to something like this. It felt like a real spring day even though spring is some weeks early this year. 

We had a lovely flower on the table. ;)

Mom was cooking some weird food.. I don't like this one as it includes anchovy... I ate similar casserole, but there was ham instead of those anchovy's pieces..

Next was time for writing a letter to Australia. During this week I didn't send out any letters, so I was glad to finally be writing a letter. I could also mention that one letter arrived to me this week. It was from Dora, Hungary, tho currently living in Finland.

Time for jogging. The weather was lovely, tho a bit too windy. hahh. 

Coffee-time with blueberry pie. 

Then watching some sports from TV, including the Para Olympics. I'm not sure how I spent the time after that, but before starting this post I ate ice cream. hehh.

Nice Saturday evening everyone!! :)
