Snow buddies

I'm done with the grey skies, the cold wind and nothing to do outside...
My son has had it with the "winter" this year so far. "there's nothing to do"... he needs it to snow. Remember that small skiff of snow we had last weekend? Well here's his first snowman of the year. Mr. Doodles, his name. He managed to empty the year of every pinch of snow in order to get enough snow.


A few stolen tomatoes (that are still kicking around my garden), a carrot from the fridge and some clothes make the "one ball" snowman come alive.
Days and wind and warmth have passed. Now Mr. Doodles eyes and nose are laying on the grass. He's been striped of his clothes and he's lost some weight. Waiting for a day when other snow buddies will join him.
