Winter without snow…

I’m in Finland on winter time. However, There are no snow… Today was really good weather and 7 degrees! I saw many grasses started to grow… I am little bit shocked… Good weather but sad… I don’t know how to say. Today’s dinner, I didn’t say “Gochosousama” which means thank you for food. Because, sometimes I am shy to say this words because, foreigners don’t say it. Therefore these times, I join hands and say it in my heart very much. Usually, I say thank you at home but I didn’t say it because I was shy, and my host father said, say to thank you. I say thank you in my heart so many time and I always say thank you. My host father doesn’t say thank you usually… I got angry but, I didn’t say thank you today. I was afraid to say “thank you” and also afraid to say something to my host family… I shouldn’t be halfway. There is no snow, so plants misunderstood spring is coming. I don’t want to be like a halfway winter.
