					Found this wonderful old photo of two circa 1888 ladies playing in the snow and making a Victorian snow-lady!  Quite a good one, too!  Also, check out Dave Taylor's BoothieBarn regarding  JWB and some snowy adventures....

					That is an amazing photo, Betty!  Those ladies were truly talented.  Also, thanks for the update on Boothie Barn, I visited there last evening after reading your post; Dave's article is wonderful. 
				
				
				
			Perhaps I'll try going out in my yard and build a "snow girl" today. If it turns out any good I'll post a picture.

					Snow sculptures are fun! It was my job, with 5 other guys, to guard our dorm's snow sculpture[covered wagon] in Michigan,during our Winter Festival.It was very cold that night in 1965.

					I loved to make snow angels when I was a kid! Now,I think it would be an earthquake in the winter!

					Great picture Betty. 
				
				
Here are a few more creative snowmen ideas. http://www.angelfire.com/wa/zzaran/calvin.html So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?  |
