Snow in our Life

İstanbul was under a beautiful but very cold snow blanket for the last couple days. Most of the time we are staying inside indulging ourselves with books, DVDs, Australian Open on TV and as you can guess with lots of eating and drinking. So far little Hera's natural calls are our only contact with the world outside. Here are some photos from our nearby park..






Guess who is this curious nose??


Finally a must on snowy days: Gluewine - hot wine

    Wow. I love the photos. Hope that you are keeping warm and snug. Sure the mulled wine is helping with that.

    It's so odd to see snow in Turkey when here in Canada there is very little. We are hosting the winter Olympics in three weeks and people are getting concerned. Mother nature is a bit out of whack this year. Great pics! Love Hera's nose and little coat!

    Turquoise: These are lovely pictures. Love the falling snow one. Hera is darling as always. We have been watching the Australian Open too. I like Nadal, but looks like he is troubled with injuries. Stay warm!

    Oh it looks just like us today, we had a blizzard and get two days off work :-) Looks like you have the right idea, stay warm and venture out only for essentials. Cute doggy.

    Sure looks like winter! Sometimes it is the puppies that get us outside when it is cold. we have about 5 months of that weather here.

    I love the photo of Hera's nose peeking out! The snow looks beautiful but cold! We've been lucky this year getting very little snow but lots of rain!

    Hera is getting so big and so cute. Love the little jacket. I put a sweater on Lucy when it's really cold.

    Beautiful photos. What type of wine do you use for Gluewine? Sounds like something Paul would like.

    The hot mulled wine is a great idea on such a cold experdition. That cute wee dog seems to enjoy the cold walk, thanks to his snug coat.
