I never liked building snowmen. Maybe because I never liked
snow. And then there’s that cold thing, which as you may know, I don’t like at
all! So, I don’t like building snowmen. I never really got into sledding or
other wintertime activities either. If I’m going to play in the snow, I want it
to be warm and sunny, you know, summer.
I did make a few snowmen when I was a kid—enough to learn
how to do it anyway. But I much preferred watching other people make them—from
inside! Still do. Yeah, I’m not much of a winter outdoorsman, I know.
Of course, after I had kids, making snowmen became part of
my job. (That is in the job description for being a parent, I think). But even
that was limited. My idea of a snowman was to make one and hope it would last
all winter. That never happened; my kids would destroy them—on purpose, I think,
just so I would have to build another one!
And now, I have grandchildren. For some reason they like
snowmen. Yeah, they’re a little crazy. I think they take after their
grandmother, at least in their affinity for snow and winter-related activities.
This past weekend, we had a couple inches of snow. One of my
grandkids was at the house and I now have a snowman in my front yard. No, I
didn’t build it. Lucky for me, my son was visiting for Christmas and he got
the privilege of going outside, rolling snow around in the yard and stacking
the balls on top of each other (and freezing). He’s a good uncle. Me, I never
liked building snowmen! ~
