Day 2 - Lent

                                                                    
Not too bad for the second day. I haven't had any urges to log on to Facebook since giving it up for lent but that isn't the real reason for this blog. I'm blogging today to talk about the weather. It's real funny how quick it changes overnight. We've been having warmer temps the last couple of days. By warmer, I mean instead of the negatives & teens, it's been in the higher 20's, lower 30's so here lately in Finland that is actually warm. It is so funny for a southerner like me to say such a thing, and it's in the 20/30's but I take it we are all use to it by now. Now it's making the snow melt and that melting is also occuring on our roof, and there are big, huge stacks of snow up there. For the last two days we've been hearing what sounds like freight trains coming down off of our roof but it's the snow falling, and falling. It's like miniature avalanches because we have a pretty huge roof all around and each of the sides are pretty steep peaks, so there has been a lot of sliding going on the last few days. Needless to say, Chloe and I have jumped out of our skin a few times because we aren't use to that sound.
Now as I'm finishing this blog, the temperature outside tonight at 9:30pm is 32 degrees, and cloudy. I guess we'll stay warm for a little while. That is so funny!! Take care everyone
