December 2021

As soon as winter comes, it has already been freezing and a heavy snow.

Shiwasu, another name of December in Japan, is frequently in use to describe busy time at the end of the year.

And just like that...it's winter!

And just like that...it's winter!!

It has been a rather warm month for us and only saw light snowfall 

since mid-November. While we were enjoying the beginning of winter 

and getting ready for the upcoming season by bringing out our winter 

coats, boots, and snow shovels, the scenery completely changed 

overnight and we were suddenly in the dead of winter!

What a difference a day makes!
