SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER - MAYBE...

THOUGHTS
Just when I was thinking and wishing for spring, mother nature reminds me of who is in charge.
I woke up this morning to falling snow that lasted most of the morning. I doddled around the house most of the day frequently looking out the window at the new blanket of snow. I should build a snowman I thought! Yea, a colored snowman, like we use to do growing up! So my hubby tied up my boots and outside I went. As I began rolling the balls I realized, HEY! I don't have the energy like I used to and BRR it is cold! I never got cold as a kid! Well, I finished my new friend and came inside to look at him through the window in my nice warm home.

THINGS
Do you want to make a colored snowman? Easy to do. First shape your snowman. Put a few drops of food coloring, your choice of color ,into a spray bottle and fill with COLD water. Not hot, you don't want to melt it. Just spray the whole thing and then dress your snowman. Try it!

  2. So cute! I haven't made a snowman forever, and I should! My pup would love to roll around in the snow while I made one! Glad you joined the blogging world.
