Springtime Snowman

The first full day of spring (yesterday) brought five to six inches of snow to this Indiana town. The second full day of spring brought this four foot Snowman to our yard (capitalized because my 2-1/2 year old son officially named him "Snowman," after first toying with the name "Sheep"). It's the first Snowman my son and I have ever built together, and my first since the early days of my youth. With snowballs flying as we rolled this fellow's parts in the snow, we had a great time together.

The snow is now quickly melting, and Snowman will soon melt, too. That will probably be a sad moment for my son, but we'll always have the pictures and the memory of building this first Snowman together.
