Weirdly enough, a bit of rain fell across the snow-covered prairie surrounding my house on Christmas morning. On the plus side, the warming temperatures provided Desiree with a second opportunity to make a snowman.
“I
want to make a big snowman this time,” she told me.
I nodded
my agreement. Every kid, no matter their
age, needs at least one big snowman in their life.
Before
long, we both found ourselves out in front of the house rolling giant snowballs
and stacking them together to bring into existence Mackie the snowman. A chickadee fluttered down into the branches
of the tree no more than three feet from Desiree to watch her make a few
finishing touches on Mackie's face.
Sporting
pinecone buttons, a smile and eyes made of pea pods, and a long carrot nose,
Mackie soon posed handsomely there beside the linden tree.
I have
posted three photographs of Desiree and Mackie.
