Long winter seems never end here. Having snowstorms in March and April is usual business in Sakhalin.
Last wekeend was hard to me, I had 4 days busy with fruit carving work and 2 of them were while a severe snowstorm.
I didn't cancel the order at the blizzard day because I had a client driving a hundred kilometers to take the fruit carving display.
That was a crazy weekend, I couldn't get home (I live in suburb, the road was closed and no transportation run). A friend of mine picked me up after my job and gave me a shelter in the city.
When you look at fruit carving pictures, you might think they were made in a paradisal resort place. I bet you don't care what is going on outside the room :)

I like to add frangipani flowers to my displays.
It was good to have a chance to learn the flowers in Chiang Mai |
