When life gives you snow…
You build an igloo! (Well, at least our neighbour does!)
It was easy this year because of all the snow piled up at the side of his house.
He dug and shovelled and decorated with delightful frosty animals and candles.
How snug to sneak in there, hide yourself away and watch the world go by!
It’s a large igloo – it has two rooms.
And a door at the front that comes with hands…
But perhaps the most magical moment is wiggling your way out through the tiny window at the back,
Climbing up to the top of the igloo
And sliding down.
Repeat until tired and bright-eyed and in need of hot chocolate!

What a blast! Such delightful fun for big and small people alike. Happy Monday!

Wow! What fun. Your posts are enough to make me want to spend another winter with snow (I’ve never even seen that much I don’t think, but we used to have some.) Actually, maybe what your posts make me want to do is be a kid again. Sometimes I still act like one, but in snow and ice I’m afraid I’d be an old lady all the time ;>)

I like the door and the hands attached. I wonder what it’s like to sit inside with a hot cup of coffee? It must seem quiet.

My brother and I once built an igloo at the end of the driveway, where the snow was piled especially high. It was so cool inside, all surrounding by white. The snow seemed to insulate us from all sound. Magical.

Here in Nara, I think I can’t complain the cold from –3 to 4 degrees Celsius, at least I can see greens and a little of flowers, although I yearn for snow-blanketed world.
An igloo looks like Japanese “kamakura,” a dome-shaped snow hut, hollowed out of mounds of packed snow, with small entrance and wide space inside. It is filled with laughter of children playing house. Adults can get excited, too.

That is fantastic! I moaned about our snow which was nothing by comparison. It was sludgy, wet and icy. I think that is the difference between countries like yours that are highly organised with snow fall. It is completely different from the kind we get.
Wonderful pictures.
