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.

I think that is the smallest snowman on record 🙂 love the scarf too! Fun Post makes me smile. About Where do you Live?
No snow yet. As the rain is falling this morning, I wonder if the weatherman's predictions for a white Christmas will come true or not. I hope so! Merry Christmas!
He's adorable. Would make cute earrings!
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.
Love your snowman. And the your garden snowman he's wearing a lovely scarf hope it kept him warm
Happy Christmas to you and your family
