Snow Fun

J A N U A R Y  18th

~ World Day of the Snowman ~

Unlike many of my friends, January is 

actually a favorite month for me.

We don't often have severe winters here in central Texas. 
In fact our winter days can be a roller coaster
of temperatures and weather patterns.

A recent Sunday was one of those winter weather days!

We woke to heavy rain, but by 10 AM, 

snow was gently falling and continued till late in the day.

Areas west and north of town received considerable more

snow than the few inches that accumulated here.

Families delighted in the winter wonderland, and snowmen 

could be seen in many outdoor spaces across Austin neighborhoods.

By Monday, the snow had dissolved, leaving vestiges of those

neighborhood snowmen standing on brown winter grass.

I know, not a very pretty sight! 

Most January days are 

simply cold and dreary here.

But, that's OK with me. 

I'm a fan of winter!

I get to dress Sadie in a favorite sweater,

though admittedly she doesn't like rain or snow.

She would rather be

 inside up on a comfy bed or .   .   .

In her favorite chair 

with her cuddly snowman.

You'll find me on the sofa with a cup of hot tea while 

the chef sips on his mug of hot chocolate.

Yes, January 

is a favorite month.

I get to celebrate my birthday in January, 

the birthdays of some dear friends,

and a great niece and nephew.

Are you living among snowy scenes, 
out playing in the snow and enjoying the winter sports?

I say,

"Let it snow!"

Have you ever built a snowman?

Or, how about a Snowhog?

Samantha posted photos on her FB page with the quote:

 "When you show hogs, you don't make snowmen!"

Is this not the cutest?  Talk about having fun in the snow!
