Snowman

I was awakened at 7:30 this morning by the enthusiastic announcement from my daughter that it had snowed. Now, I'll be honest, my first thought was to murmur "that's great" and roll over and go back to sleep. But I chose instead to roll out of bed and suggest--much to Katie's delight--that we make a snowman. We put on long pants covered our hands and went out to fashion the biggest snowman we could from the tiny bit of snow that had fallen. It was cold and exhausting and the perfect way to welcome the first valley snow. I'll post a pic of our miniature frozen friend soon.
