Wanda's Knotty Thoughts: Two Snowmen

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.

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.
