first snowman of the winter


We made him yesterday in a blinding, sideways-driven wet snowstorm. R. rolled the balls himself. He has rosehips for his mouth, a spruce cone for a nose, beach rocks for eyes, and alder twigs for his arms. It was blowing a gale, hence he is hatless & scarfless.
The new snow has inspired me to dig out the decorations, so we are decking the halls this evening, complete with freshly baked gingersnaps and hot chocolate. Ho Ho Ho.

We love the snowman! Here in New Jersey, we are still waiting for the snow. So much for season ski passes! Thank you for sharing your snowman with us! We love the Haines house also.
