The resemblance is striking, don't you think?
Odie, Lenore and I built some snow people and an alien baby after one of the Xmas-break snowfalls.
The perfect packing consistency of the snow caused snowfolk to pop up all over town. Ours was the only one with a corncob pipe, however. Here are just a few...
This one is across the street from the Starbucks in W. Dundee that Lenore and I walked to just about every day.
OK, these three above aren't in Dundee, they're in Palatine, at the Jacobsens!
I like the no-nonsense arms on this one.
By nightfall, however, many were listing.
Here's ours the next day after fortification.
That little blob in the middle was at one time a snow dog, but one of us accidentally stepped on it. Oops.
Got any snowpeople in your neighborhood? Send me a picture. There might be a perky potholder or a dysfunctional doiley in it for you. You just never know!
lovely. i'm jealous of the snow and applaud the community spirit.
ReplyDeletelooks like the jacobsens guy sould have brushed those coals a little more... and should be introduced to the barr ave. snow person as a "this could happen to you" if you don't start brushing after those strawberry milk shakes (at least that's what it looks like is on the mouth). thanks
Do you call him "Snowdie"?
