Good Monday morning!

Posted by Leena (Joensuu, Finland) on 2 February 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture.

How do you start your mornings?
We do it like this nowadays - Kiki dog and I are waiting for it, when someone brave is making a clear path for us :)

Thank you very much for your visits and comments !

Ah so beautiful, but as I have just discovered trying to drive to work in the worst snow to hit the UK since 1991, it's oh so deadly. I had to give up and come home.

A superb photograph, Leena

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Good for you :))
But our snow is increasing and increasing day after day until the end of March before it will start to melt - hopefully
During April it is gone, after that our spring can start.

@Babzy: 2cm is definitely too little for anything, your son is right :)
Thank you for your comments!

Paris looked (almost) like that again this morning! (Now, it's raining.)

Wonderful shot of your serious winter! So interesting how, in the absence of wind (I presume), the snow stacks up so high on the branches... and how that gives "structure" even to all the starkly naked bushes and trees. Kiki certainly does not look bothered by the cold. Do you take turns clearing the path? Thanks for sharing!

Hello Leena! You're right, my words today were not very clear: now in France, smoking is forbidden in all public places, restaurants and cafés, bars, etc. So the smokers have to stay outside with their smoke! But many cafés have heated terraces and it's a new form of waste of energy...I wish you a nice Monday and yes, I see some snowflakes at my window, I hope they are not going to stay because we are very quickly paralysed by snow here...

Hi Leena! Your snow is lovely! I love that light fluffy snow that clings to the branches of the trees, it looks so beautiful. We had lots of snow at the weekend, and more is expected... but sunshine and blue skies today!

Thank you all for your nice comments!
i have to tell you, that this brave one is my husband and Tony, he is doing
this job every time, when it is needed and they are really many mornings during our snowy time ,
starting October / November lasting to the end of March, sometimes we get more snow even in April.
Good way to stay in a good condition - shape -fitness :)
