NovemberFrost

Officially November is the last month of autumn. It includes rain, darkness, wet ground, chilly winds until it turns like this with frost, snow and arctic breath with the wind. If you ever plan to visit up here in the north; skip at least October. No one can guarantee there is snow in November these days because of the climate changing and global warming. But if you are lucky you see Finland in this way already in November.

This year All Saints' Day was on November the 5th. Traditionally we don't celebrate Halloween but All Saints' Day.

The weather has been chilly with -10 Celsius degrees for several days. The ground is getting frozen but we are still missing the snow covering. Poor Nuka got a cut to her toe. It is a bit difficult hunting weather because the ground is frozen but nothing covers it. For example sphagnum moss is like a pile of tiny sharp knives instead of soft pillow! Now we need to see if her nail gets off or not. Her sick leave's length depends on the nail. It is just a small cut around the nail but nasty looking one; even the vet said "ouch" when she saw it.
