Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

First snow!

We started off today with some snow. The girls have been SO excited for snow, even obsessively checking the weather forecast. Today was the day!

Many people have warned us that November is more of a wet month than a snowy one in Turku especially, but snow flurries throughout the day today were plenty entertaining for the girls.

And for the record, sunrise was at 8.46 this morning. Sunset was at 15.47. My Reverse SAD is officially in remission. Though to be clear, it was never actual hours of sunlight that depleted me, but the heat and shine. I haven't worn sunglasses here since August. It's crazy!
