Frosty the Snowman.

Roundabout was determined that she would build a snowman this winter when it snowed. School was released three hours early on Friday in anticipation of the snow. In years past, there have been many false alarms when it comes to snow and so I waited for nothing to come only to see the flurries start falling around lunchtime. By the time the bus deposited Roundabout at home, it was starting to come down. It immediately started sticking to the grass and trees but there wasn't enough accumulation yet for a snowman build. The plan was to wait until Saturday morning to build.

Snow changed to ice and sleet throughout the night making that pure snow ice-crusted on top. But since Dad had promised a snowman, he delivered. Yes, said snowman was very much a patchwork effort, but he came through! Straight Arrow shoveled snow into piles and then packed it down to create three roundish balls.
