I went to a house-warming party last night - it was a Czech student party, meaning a lot of young students sitting around. I was the only non-Czech in attendance and it was interesting.
They had a pumpkin and they started talking about carving a jack-o-lantern. It took them a few moments to realize there was an American in attendance, but once they did they latched onto me as the go-to jack-o-lantern guy.
So I made a jack-o-lantern last night. I also baked the pumpkin seeds which most everybody enjoyed. A little piece of home...
As I was walking back to my flat from the bus stop, I looked at the partially cloudy sky and the clouds had this color to them and I thought to myself, "It's going to snow tonight"...
It snowed for the first time last night. It's not very deep, but it's hanging around. Every form of pavement is clear without the use of plows or snowblowers.
I may be moving somewhere more central, thank goodness. I'll know by next week.
