Meet Frosty

Before the temperatures dipped to the -21 they are this morning, when a Northern girl like myself knew that snow at these temperatures would be no good for snowmen, Rhiannon and I managed to make this wee snowman. The snow was on the edge of not being sticky - those snowballs took a long time to roll. Frosty has black walnuts for eyes from our own yard, a carrot left over from the farmer's market and organic juice sweetened cranberries from Rancho Vignola for a mouth. And a Bryer's ice cream pail for a hat with mountain ash twigs for arms which you can't really see in this picture.

And for those of you who can't make it to Rhiannon's recital this Friday...
