Two Snowmen

I had an idea for a snowman the other day.

He was a bit of a pain to make – he didn’t want to hold still to put on his hat or scarf!  And I lost the beads on the floor several times before he was done.  He remains alone – at least for the time being.  He might get a friend to be worn as earrings someday.
We’ll see.

It snowed last week, a wet, heavy snow, just perfect for snowmen and snowballs. We had a couple of the grandchildren staying that day and they could hardly wait to get out in it.  The first thing were snow angels and then a snowman.  A carrot for a nose, charcoal for eyes and buttons, twigs as mouth and arms.  Papa brought out a hat and Grandma donated her scarf.  Then we couldn’t go in without a snowball fight. It was so much fun!  The snowman lasted a couple of days, slowly leaning over but kept it together until the kids left.  A few hours later he lost his head, then the rest of him gradually melted away.
Have you built a snowman yet this year?

Two Snowmen
One inside, one outside,
One little, one big.
One lives for ever – or until he gets lost.
One lives a few days when he just melts away.
Both were made in just a short time,
For the length of their stay
They bring smiles to us all.

  1. Snow nothing yet here but they have had some in Scotland, to be honest I am not a snow person and I don't want it.
