I have to say that it has been a very long time since I’ve built a snowman. We just don’t get very much snow around here! Over the past several years I’ve seen other people’s attempts to make snowmen from the snow that we do get and it is rather sad to see because the snow is heavily dotted with twigs and grass clippings and just plain dirt scraped up from the ground.
Yesterday I went out to clear off the deck so the dogs could go in and out as needed through their doggie door. The temptation to build a snowman was intense. I picked up a handful of snow and it packed so nicely! I put it down on the snow and rolled it a little and before you knew it I had a snowman’s head in my hands. I gently put it down in the snow and looked at it for a minute. If I had the rest of the snowman’s accessories close at hand (nose, eyes, pipe) I’d have myself a really great snowman! But I don’t have anything I can reasonably use as eyes, so I just abandoned the idea. Maybe I’ll come across something over the next day or so that I can use. I don’t think that snow is going anywhere very soon! We sure got a lot of it!
