Our flower garden and scenery in Nasu, Japan.

The Japanese archipelago, from Hokkaido to Kyushu, was completely covered with snow.

Around my house, there was about 15 centimeters (about 6 inches) of snow. I shoveled snow.

The stone furnace in the yard was buried in snow and unusable, so I built a fire on the deck. I wanted to eat delicious grilled fish, so I used a Coleman for BBQ.
