The little snowman

We went to mom and dad's today, as we always do on Saturday.  Bought some feed for the Brat, and some wormer, too.  I groomed him a bit, got the tangles out of his mane (they'll be back by morning) and we wormed him.  He's settling down real well.  Blue got some lovin', too.

The snow we got last night didn't amount to much.  The kids made an attempt at sledding down a hill in the pasture.  There was as much grass as snow, but it didn't stop them.  Monica decided to build a snowman.  Yeah, a snowman.  An adult mind thinks, "there isn't enough snow to even attempt a snowman!"  A child's mind thinks, "Wow!  Snow!"

When the snowman was done, it was a snowwoman.  By the time I went outside to look, it was a snowman.  Dad told her that it had an ugly nose, so she decided it must be a boy!  LOL

That's her stocking cap on his head.  Kids don't feel the cold (notice her red cheeks!)  He has horse treats for eyes, and shop rags for a scarf (Grandma said that her scarves are for people, not snowmen...Monica improvised.)  His nose is a half of a carrot, and his mouth is orange string.  Yeah, he's a small little guy, but look how happy she is with her accomplishment!

Monica says that's a VERY GOOD journal entry... and she did NOT have red cheeks.  So HA!
