More Snow @ School...2011

Let the snow continue! And yes, it did. I was hoping to go to bed and wake up to a snow-less morning, but alas, it was not to be. Monday came and the snow was still on the ground. Of course I was waiting for the call informing me that the kindergarten I work at on Mondays was closed, and it came...only to say that...it was OPEN >_< So, I packed on the layers and trudged out to work. This is what I was greeted with...


Cute aren't they? Meet Konoka and Nonoka (no relation :p)

Needless to say, we were all late for class this afternoon!

She wouldn't...would she??

She DID! But he deserved it, he initiated combat.

SNOWBALL FIGHT!

Needless to say, I was hit by the odd snowball or 12, but I didn't hold it against them...

Monday came and went, but the snow didn't! By Tuesday, the snow on the grounds of the kindy were no more than dirty slush, but the roofs were still decorated. Wednesday is when I start work at the elementary school, Tobishima. I live in the city, and there, there was NO snow. But in Tobishima village, WAY out in the boonies (1.5hr commute), the cold white stuff still lingered. Yes, it was pretty, but COME ON! You have overstayed your welcome frozen rainy drops!
*Breathes*
On the last leg of my commute (a 5min walk to the school), I couldn't resist the urge to take out my camera. My fingers on the other hand put up a mighty protest! Before I gave in to their demands here are some shots I took as I hurried along to get to work on time:



Yes, it's early in the morning (about 8:20ish) That's the school in the distance.

A sea of white where the sea of rice used to be.
