There’s Just Enough Snow For One

One of the joys of a winter’s snowfall is the fun of creating a snowman. Without much snow to speak of over the past few years, these guys haven’t made much of an appearance — until I came upon this one.

The kids who lived at this home weren’t deterred by the lack of snow covering the ground and set out to have some fun anyway. They scraped and rolled every last bit of the white stuff — along with some faded green and brown stuff as well — to build him.

I laughed out loud when I saw the hat they put on his head. Although I live far from Miami, the weather in my area is certainly starting to mimic a much warmer climate.
