Lilu wants to join Pappa in making snow angels. She dives face first into the snow – doh!
Not to worry, she has three more months of snow to get it right.
And licking off the snow is just as fun!
Norwegian houses are very charming with their wooden panels and slate roofing. It is typical for a house to be painted a strong colour such as red, blue or yellow, but white is the most popular.

Many Norwegians know what they are doing when they pick wild mushrooms. This knowledge is passed down the family during mushroom hunting trips. The hard-core mushroom hunters go into the mountain wilderness for days to get the best finds.
By our favourite jetty is the cutest little boat shed. We often have picnics there in Summer. It’s nice to just drop by our favourite places in Winter to see how very different but very beautiful everything still is.

The sun never goes down during this season but the mountains to the East are so high that the sun still has to raise above them in the morning hours and an artificial dawn-effect wakes the city.
Pølse is THE fast food of Norway. When the grilled pølse was first introduced to Norway in the 50s it was eaten naked – without bread.
I think Autumn is my favourite season in Norway – the weather is still warm here in Tromsø, the sunsets come down over the mountains again and the blueberries are ripe for the picking.

So cute, and that snow looks rather luxurious and fluffy as far as snow goes! Might get my own chance to make snow angels next week if the British weather reports are to be believed. Thanks for sharing some Norwegian snow with us.

from L-Jay:
The snow has been pretty thin up until last week – just in time for the Sami reindeer racing through the city centre!
Several years ago our family took a trip to Norway in late January…an unforgettable experience for all 23 of us, but our 6 year old grandaughter, born and raised in sunny Florida asked, “Grandma, can I make sand angels in the snow?” Fortunately she had plenty of chances starting in Oslo, then Bergen and all the way up to Nordkap. For these children the experience of snow, northern lights and the concept of very short daylight hours as well as dogsledding near Tromso created special memories.
I love snow angels! How fun that Moose and you can join in with the children.
Blessings,
