This winter has been long and hard. We've not had luck on weekend weather, with either bitter cold or precipitation. C Raz and I had not gotten a chance to make a snow man yet, because the one decent day we had (Christmas), the snow had an ice crust and powder underneath. So we leapt at the chance to try to build one Saturday, even though temps were around 50 degrees and we knew he wouldn't last long. Mr. Snowman had the traditional carrot nose, but had broccoli eyes and a strawberry Laffy Taffy mouth. When we looked out the window at 4 pm, he had lost his head. By the end of the day he was quite lumpy.



In addition to the one we built together, C Raz also built his own "snowman" by himself.




He's started out pretty phallic looking, but once C Raz added the carrot, he was not much more than a pile of snow.



And now all of that snow and ice is gone! :)
