Building a snowman  

We had that nice snow that crunches and squeaks under your feet as you walk - perfect for snowmen... we didnt have a great deal though.

Yes, its fun to start with but, when your car starts sliding about and everything gets splashed with dirty slush it starts to lose ita appeal doesn't it?

I dont have small children anymore but I can still enjoy making snowmen

Fun to play in but not so good driving to work in

That's even more special that you have someone to share it with.

I know, it really brings out the kid in me! Before having kids I would go out and play in the snow and feel just a little weird because I am a "grownup"... now, I just play and be happy!!! There is nothing like bundeling up, heading outside, playing for hours then returning to a nice cup of hot cocoa!!!!

I think I've probably reached the stage where
a) people expect me to behave in a slightly odd way (they just put it down to senile eccentricity)
b) I dont give a monkey's what they think anyway
... so,I am perfectly ok to make snowmen all by myself

Good point, there is really no sense caring what people think. Thank you for reminding me of that! Being playful and excited about nature is a beautiful peice of life. I would rather be out playing in the snow in my late twenties then sitting around the table complaining about the cold!

Thank you for the best response.. I appreciate it :)

I'd like to pull out of winter for the next 5 or 6 days to make getting out and about easier... it can come back when I can stay home and enjoy it!

Through the window of your warm cosy lounge????

Oh, that's mean, knocking the poor snowmans head off
How come you didnt build one yourself??
I do have a photo of the penguin taking a break and chillin' out after his efforts, elsewhere amongst my contributions but no-one seems to have found that one yet.

Whre or pray tell , can you not tell me?? I am dressed as one Christpher Columbus off to see the edge of the world.. steer me o great star to the land of penquins and let me not find the New World just yet..

He is languishing in a no response discussion of mine entitled - Chillin' out. Sadly, you will find no star, shepherd or wise man at the scene

... and yes... your bum does look big in the Christopher Columbus "puff ball" pants (Oh, I mean puff ball as in the fungi... I wasn't being rude!)

are you talkin to ME?? BUM?? that bruized pit of hind of apparatus is in a tender mood and would appreciate a little respect.. BUTT is the word!

not unless I'm American... which I'm not. However, out of respect, I will refer to it as your 'posterior' or 'gluteus maximus'

aah yes I feel very Alexandery!! Alexander the Lepidopterus of Glutimus Maximus ad hoc ad infinitum

Caesar ad sum jam forte
Gallus ad erat
Ceasar sic in omnibus
Gallus sic in at
(That's about all I remember from my Latin lessons)
