Lars and Me

As this balmy weather is at last floating in to delight us, I am recalling something I did one year ago. . .

. . . I spent the next while making a snowman. The rain dripping off the roof next to me, I knelt at the edge of a small pile of crusty snow. The snow was hard, but it stuck well, almost too well as I tried to drive pebbles into the softball sized head of icy crystals. Soon my little Lars was finished, after difficulties of his face falling apart, and with his leaf bow tie he looked quite sharp--though sadly lacking a hat.

And here is Lars and me together!----------->
