Fred

Meet Fred, our snowman. 

I feel really weird posting about this right now, as it was a lovely 65 degrees here today!  Unfortunately, I’m behind in picture uploading and editing, so we’ll just have to pretend this is a timely post! :-)

We wound up with about 4 inches of snow last Friday night (and yes, now it’s 65 degrees… bring on the flu!).  It was gorgeous and, in true Georgia fashion, it was here in the morning and melted by the afternoon.  Barely a trace.  Keith made sure to pack the snow really well because he wanted to see how long Fred would last.  Turns out, the last bit of Fred melted yesterday.  We won 2nd place for the most resilient snowman in the neighborhood.  Not a real competition, but one that Keith and Andrew were really into. :-)

I did help with the snowman, not that you can tell because I was behind the camera (imagine that!).  Andrew preferred to eat the raisins we were using rather than use them for the Fred’s mouth.

I know you’re probably thinking “Is that hay I see on the ground and all over the snowman?”  Why yes, it is!  Farmer Brown (aka Keith) thought that it would be a good idea to aerate the yard, over seed and put hay down at the end of fall/beginning of winter.   It’s been a bone of contention in our house all season.  I think it’s going to kill the grass, Keith thinks we’re going to have the greenest, most fabulous grass ever.  I did threaten him within an inch of his life about next year’s fall lawn treatment.  If we ever have snow again, I do NOT way a hay covered snowman! :-)

And here is a super over-exposed picture of Andrew that I messed with in Photoshop.  It’s a “horrible” picture but there is something about it I like.  And so, I’m sharing. :-)

And of course, snow wouldn’t be any fun unless you could eat it, right??

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I’m dreading work tomorrow.  Anyone else feel like the weekend is WAY too short?
