It is 8:07 am. Normally I would be heading out the door to go to TMU right now. So why am I blogging at this early hour? Because it’s a SNOWDAY. I can’t remember the last time we got so much snow! It’s amazing!

Haha. I was getting my stuff ready and my mom looked at me and said “you’re not going to work today, are you?”. Haah. That’s like upside-down world. She turned on the radio and it was listing loads of closed schools and places. The police are telling people to stay inside in many regions around here. How brilliantly awesome. I could probably make it up to the bus stop without too many problems, and the busses might even be running in the city. But getting the inter-city busses out in the middle of nowhere, which as you will remember is where TMU is located, that’s not likely. So I have taken my mother’s advice. And I am going to watch the latest Lost episode and smile.

If the weather settles down then I might go out later and take some pictures. Maybe I’ll even brave it out and go to the playground. I’m not sure I can even make it there though! I’m pretty sure they’ll be closed, but of course I have my own key so I could still keep the animals company inside.

Wow. Snow day. The best two words in the Danish language.

Aah. Now this is more like it.

The snow came down. A lot. The first real, big snow of the year. What a perfect day to have the day off.

It was actually storming so much that I almost didn’t feel like going out. I stood in the kitchen and looked at the trees swaying in the wind. Imagined myself being swept off my feet and blown to god knows where. But alas, neither wind nor snow shall keep me away from the goats.

When I got outside it wasn’t actually too bad. I love this kind of weather. Snow and snow and snow. Coming down and covering the world. The air full of movement. It was very cold of course, but nothing that couldn’t be helped with a warm sweater and a scarf and gloves and a ski mask and whatever else I could get my hand on. The more wool, the better.

Speaking of wool. When Mads uses his horns to scratch his back he always gets some wool hanging on like that. Fun.

Nice to sit inside with the goats and sheep. It’s not exactly warm in there, but at least not cold.

With the snow covering everything.

But the geese didn’t seem to mind.

Magnethe even jumped out for a bit. Although I think that was because Mads chased her out. She stayed close to the hatch and came back inside fairly quickly.

Ah yes. Goody goody. My back is going to be sore tomorrow from shoveling snow but I shan’t complain.

This kind of weather makes me smile.
