A snowflake to touch my heart


Believe it or not I am 37 years old and I have never seen snow. 
Hang on ....did I just tell you how old I am...eeek!

Never seen snow!!!

For years my hubby and I have been saying we must take a trip during snow season. 
He being English has of course seen snow many times. 
Me, I can't even imagine what it would be like or even how cold it would have to be for it to be snowing.

A friend in Finland updated her Facebook saying that it was snowing. I then made a comment telling her I'd never seen snow and jokingly asked her if she could she send me some (remembering I am in Australia).

Look what she sent me!


My own little snowflake. Isn't it gorgeous!

What a sweet thing to do... it really did touch my heart and made me feel all warm inside!

Thanks Jana, you made me smile.

OMG I can not believe you have never seen snow. OK I do forget you live in Australia. I have almost always lived in snow country. From the Sierras, to the Rockies, to the Bitterroots and of course many years in Alaska. For me you can have it!!! I NEVER WANT TO LIVE IN, OR VISIT SNOW AGAIN.
Geeesss should I tell you how I really feel?? LOL

I know Nicole - it's amazing I have never seen snow in all these years!

I am guessing you would get pretty sick of the cold and snowy weather if you were exposed to it all of the time.... the novelty would wear off I suppose.

We do get snow in Australia but definitely not in Queensland where I live! If we did get snow then it would be world news!!

I still get excited with snow flakes! I don't like the cold but nothing beats a good pretty snow fall.

Awesome for you
