Picnics and Snowmen

Just a few weeks after our first snow in November 2008, I noticed the picnic table again and realized it was going to disappear soon if we kept on getting the snow storms that we had been getting so far.
One day when Karen was outside to take care of her cats, I looked out and saw that she was up to something else.

With the help of her cats, she built a very happy snowman. We usually don't have wet enough snow here to build snowmen but since our snow came early this year, she was able to put together a couple of them. Our snow is generally quite dry and powdery. Remember, it's a dry cold we have here.
