Ellie's first snowman, a photo essay















It was 50 today, which really softened up and compacted the snow in our yard. That was sufficient justification for building a snowman. The balls rolled up and stuck together so easily that I got carried away and made three. Our yard's new enough that we don't have trees large enough to give their branches for arms. We only had baby carrots in the fridge. The snowmen were too fat for our coats. So we called the snowmen done as simple blobs.

In case you're wondering, 50 degrees in Montana is always a good excuse to break out the shorts.

Great snowmen...maybe a scarf? I'm not so sure you convinced me it was warm enough to wear shorts. Ellie's cheeks sure said it was chilly!
