Congratulations to The Maker, age 10, the boy who is first out into the first snow of the season.

(I’m only barely remembering snow from earlier this year.)

At least this year he didn’t put all the snow he could scrape up (which in NC, isn’t all that much) into my freezer. I know I took photos of that, but for whatever reason I couldn’t find them. Probably tagged them with “Wha–?” instead of “snow.” Any rate, these particular snowballs were launched joyfully outside at other people, and thus dispersed in an immediately effective and much more freezer-space-saving way.

Oh, and the glasses are pretty wonderful, don’t you agree? I want me summa those.

The Ice’s SnObama Pix

January 22, 2009

Finally! We got a lovely great snow (I’m inclined to call it a snobama) on the day of the inauguration. The Ice was up before dawn, thrilled to catch the first downy layer. He ended his picture taking with a happy self-portrait:
