Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!

I know that most of you reading this note are about to experience at least the possibility of snow soon. Well, back a couple of months ago, we were able to see something that had not happened here in Joburg in about 25 years--it actually snowed. Now I'm not talking about any blizzard but white stuff that was floating down. It didn't accumulate but it was a unique and memorable experience. As you can tell from the kids, they at least had fun trying to catch the flakes with their tongues.

The night before we had a hail storm and I can at least show you the result of that storm.



We also had frost frequently and so we are so ready for this warm weather that is beginning to come regularly. This picture shows the thatched roof home we were staying in for a while and let me tell you, it gets cold in a house with only grass between you and the sky.



So enjoy your winter and we'll let you know later about how hot it gets here.
