Yuki ga Furu!

It's Snowing! After months of no snow and finally deciding we should change our snow tires to regular- along came a snow storm. This was very surprising after the sunny and warm weather of late.
Here's a picture of the mountain behind our apartment. You can see dead rice stalks peaking out of the snow in the field.

When it snows and I look around at the scenery in Takefu I realize one reason why I like living here. It's so beautiful. And Japan really does have 4 seasons... maybe they're not as distinct or on time as they should be, but at least they do eventually occur.
