Snowman Humor

I'm sure most of you all have seen Calvin and Hobbe's snowmen comics....

It was funny to google this and see all the pics of snowmen people had made trying to recreate Calvin's work, lol!

So you can imagine my amusement when I looked out the window and saw this:

I went out for a closer look and cracked up!

Elvis anyone? "Thank ya, thank ya very much..."


He has been this way for two days!



He's definitely fighting the laws of gravity and Mother Nature~



Of course many captions have come to mind...



"Must....(gasp!) have.... more....snow....(weeeez, cough)"

"There's my nose! If I could just....reach.. it..."

"Help me find my earring!!"

"I'm melting, melting. Ohhhhh, what a world, what a world!"

"Step back everyone, I lost my contact!"

Can you say "osteoporosis"?

"May I have this dance?"

"Doin' da' butt. Hey pret-tay, pret-tay~When you get that notion, put your backfield in motion, hey! Doin' da' butt. Hey sexy, sexy Ain't nothing wrong, if you wanna do the butt all night long~
(Hey yeah-ee yeah. Yeah-ee, Yeah-ee, Yeah-ee Yeah)Ow, what you gonna do about it(Yeah-ee yeah. Yeah-ee) Shake it! (Yeah-ee, Yeah-ee Yeah)"

"I'm gonna HURL!"

"On your mark, get set, GO!"

And last but not least~Naturally I thought of Scarlett~

Anyone else got a caption?

Snowfall...

We had our first snow a few weeks ago, but hardly any accumulation and it was more like sleet.

***

Everyone was all bundled up at our friend's annual Deer Hunting Camp party. This is their little farm house get away home near Hermann, MO. Here you see Nova near the fire, and Kevin in the center with his big fluffy hat.

Nova was so cute; he saw the sparks flying up from the fire and he called them orange stars~

Snug as a bug in a rug~ Not really, it was pretty cold and we went back inside!

Last night we got our first REAL snow... the sparkly diamond stuff!

Nova was so excited!

This morning he woke up and I heard him say, "SNOW! The snow is still here outside!" Then he rambled on about how Christmas and Santa were coming and that he would get his "black diesel" Thomas train.

Kevin was at work, but neither Nova nor I could hardly wait to finish breakfast and go out into the wintery wonderland~

This is the little meadow behind our home. This piece of land used to be part of our property, but the previous owners divided it before selling the house. : (

There's a creek that runs in that dip at the tree line~

This rustically charming old barn is our neighbor's.

Remember our cherry tree?

Such a wet and heavy snow~

My poor roses holding on for dear life...

Nova and his snow friend~

I was instructed on each detail, and told that we should go to the store to buy a carrot for his nose. Sorry son, I was not more snowman prepared.

He settled on a snow "hat", which he gave me a glop of snow for, lava rocks for eyes and buttons, and a broken clay pot for a mouth. He insisted Frosty have a broom, so I broke off a piece of our ornamental grass. Bad mommy... that's as good as it gets kid, lol! It seemed to placate him, so all is good!
