Today I had to do some errands. Walking out to my car, I discovered that the snow was about 8 inches deep and level with my bumper. My little Hyundai wasn’t going to be able to get out. So I called Mom-in-law to ask if she would drive me about.
    While I was waiting for her to get to our apartment, I built my first snowman of the season. He’s huge! With his hat on he around or just over 6 feet tall. His name is Bobert. I made the bottom ball out of the snow from the walkway at our front door. I lifted the middle one by myself – it was heavy.
     Just as I was finishing him the temperature started to rise and his “teeth” – the filberts – started to fall out. So in some of my pictures he is toothless.
     It was a blast. It was not until after the first hour I realized how cold my toes where. I don’t own normal snow shoes so I improvised, I use plastic bags and tie them around my regular shoes so they don’t get wet, making my feet even more cold. I don’t have a picture of my “snow shoes” this year. The one below is from January this year on another snow day. I love snow days!

Note: That is not my car in the background. So no worries, the modern hippy is not being hypocritical by driving a fast car.
