Today is the independence day. I watched the classic movie version of The Unknown soldier and enjoyed the snow. I should really read the book again. It has been years since I did that and it has been the only war book I've ever liked.

Martta @Cinfhen Thanks! It's been snowing here for the past three days and today was the first day with sun. Ofcourse it was kind of cold too but that just makes pretty pictures. 8y
