Yesterday’s rain turned into snow overnight and we had a good three inches or so this morning. As I was shoveling the driveway I realized the wet, sticky snow was prime packing snow. So I invented a new way of clearing the driveway: rolling snowballs. I made a snowman on the hill in front of my house (pictured to the right), which was my masterpiece. Later in the morning I made three more in the backyard just for kicks. A tall one in front of the garage and two smaller ones. The sun’s already out and the snow’s melting pretty quickly, so I don’t expect them to last long. But hey, snowmen. I haven’t done this in a long time.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
He looks happy. That’s nice.
By the way, I meant to tell you I saw the snowman when I was dropping my kids off at school. Best snowman of the year that I’ve seen. Too bad it was short-lived…
