Starting the day with a smile...

I spotted these kids in the field off of Duncan Road yesterday afternoon, after work. I couldn't resist: I circled the block to get a photo of them. Maybe I should have added that to my list of weird things I do: Circle the block to take photos. If you ever want to ride around with me, be ready for it: I'm going back for the shot.



Actually, I circled the block 3 times; there's not much in the way of parking on Duncan Road, so I had to work with the traffic.

A giant snowman was obviously in the works, but each time I drove around, they were struggling with the weight of that second snowball. I sent them a mental "good luck" and left them to it.

  1. Yayyyy! I know. My kids spotted it on the way to school! Too fun. We had one in our yard as well, not so big, of course. I was sitting here in the living room and saw something out of the corner of my eye...the snowman was falling over...but oh the warmer weather is so nice.

  6. That snowman is in the middle of a cornfield...a thawing cornfield at this point. Anyone that mucks out there to stick a carrot and some coal on it's head is likely to end up needing a tow-truck to haul him out of knee-deep mud!

    :-D
