Rare

Those of you who don't live around here may be surprised that making a good snowman is actually pretty rare for us. Although we have plenty of snow, it is often too cold for the snow to stick together well enough to make a decent snowman.
However, Saturday was a perfect snowman day. As fat, wet flakes fell, we (Mike, Lily, my parents, and I) filled our front yard with a snowmom, snowdad, snowbaby, and even . . .


a snowgiant! (Yes, that is a parrot on his shoulder -- look familiar, Uncle Dale?)
