As my son and I walked to the store today, I noticed some tiny daffodils cheering up the gray sky. They always surprise me with their appearance, as I think January is too early to see these happy little faces.
Tonight we are expecting snow. Well, I'm not. I lived in Seattle way too long to ever believe a snow forecast. I believe it when I see it.
Since we don't have any transportation woes in the snow (my husband takes an underground train to work and I walk my son to school), it doesn't matter to us whether or not it snows.
The only matter is that we had so much fun in the snow two years ago. Although I understand it is completely out of the norm to have snow like that, I've been secretly wishing for it all winter long.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
