The Shortest Lived Snowman


Everybody loves a snowman. Young and old alike laugh and giggle while creating a beloved snowman. And the perfect snowman is no easy task.
We rotated the snowball just right every so many rolls, so it is nice and even. Then we used the golden triangle to figure out the perfect body and head snowball ratio's. And finally, picked out all the perfect accessories, like arms, and buttons, and mouth and nose, and hat. After what seemed like hours - the perfect snowman was born.

Then, we went inside to enjoy some warm cocoa, only to go back outside - 30 min. later - to find our perfect snowman, laying on its side. Dead from some unknown cause or minor miscalculation of body / head ratio.
