Madison Wisconsin
Not much conversion needed to turn this (slightly) color photograph into a black and white. The road leads into Owen Conservation Park, and the park is always a good bet to visit, even in the midst of a blizzard. Snow plows are stored in sheds in the park, and so its road is one of the first to get plowed.
The last time I stuck my yardstick into the side yard, the snow measured a good 16 inches in depth. So the browns of November are now the whites of December.
Big Snowman
Just west of Madison I came upon a friendly winter sight – the biggest snowman I’ve ever seen, complete with four tractor and truck tires for a hat and red Wisconsin Badger “we’re # 1” foam gloves. Guessing this snow guy is about 25 feet high and 15 feet wide.
This is considered entertainment of the highest sort in our wintry land. Great smile on the guy, hmm?
Anyone ever see a bigger snowman???
Hey the sun finally decided to shine, and Mr. Snowman looks even more grand with a few highlights.
Now He’s Really all a Dazzle…
And a reader sent me a link for the BIGGEST snowman, which happens to be a snow lady. Gotta share this – the snow lady even has skis for eyelashes. Now how sweet is that. (Figures. She ‘s from another wintery state – Maine.)
Twenty-seven years ago this morning – 10:31 am to be precise – I gave birth to my first child. I look back and remember those early days of motherhood as being among the most precious of my life.
Here are my Happy Birthday wishes to my older daughter.
Enjoy. Laugh. Love.
