Snow angels
Mary Olsson contributes this snow angel!
After clearing the driveway of the major snow, I went back for the minor clean up and took the opportunity to do my snow angel. If you can't do a snow angel, it isn't really snow.
Did you have fun in the snow? Will you have more fun on Thursday?
Feel free to share your photos here or on our Facebook page.

Calling all snowmen!
Mary Olsson sent this to me to share with you.
Thanks Mary! I am looking forward to doing a snow angel. I haven't done one yet this season.
If you get to do a snow angel, take a photo and send the photo to shersteve at gmail dot com. I'll collect the photos of snow angels or snow men and post them here.
