The nearest hill is covered with snow.

No wonder it is so cold. I went to the kitchen, turned on the dining room heater and went out to look through the glass door at the side of the entrance of my house. I live in what some people would call the first slopes of the Andes. When I went to the supermarket a few years ago, I had to go up the first block until I reached easy to walk sidewalk. It was fine, though, when I came down. From my door I see the first Andes slopes nearby and I have told you that during the quarantine, a mountain lion was seen in Claudia´s block although she lives about 10 blocks or more down. In winter it is beautiful. Of course, if you have the money to pay for heating. The first hill I can see was covered with snow and I can understand why I´m cold. Normally we´d have snow where we could see it all winter. Now, with the climate change, hills are bare and ugly. But today they are a beauty. I´ll checkif I can find an old picture.

We had snow on the mountains here around for several weeks. It's still cold to be May, usually it's a much better month.

It is. Children here could not draw a picture without mountains in the background.

@just4him When I was a child I loved snow. Not anymore.

Here snow is just dry cold. Today I woke up to freezing temperature outside. 0°C. And I don´t have central heating and I turn off the gas heaters at night. They are toxic.

@marguicha sounds like you would do good with the old fashioned method of heating up a brick and placing it by your feet in bed,

Snow capped mountains are beautiful but I do agree with you that cold weather makes heating the house expensive.

I can see the snow very near my house today. I will only go out to feed Luna and to open the door for my brother.

Here it was the same. Hills are bare and ugly without snow. It's cold now even if it's May.

That sounds amazing, looking at snow but feeling warm is more important, of course. You said mountain lion? Wow, that is almost mythical but also scary.

We live in the slopes of the Andes. And we have shooed away wild life from their natural habitats. That mountain lion must have decided that human beings had left when it did not hear the city sounds.

@marguicha Snow on the hills can be beautiful - and full of melancholy which I love.

Will you be looking for central heating with your new home? That would be nice. Have a good day.
