The population of Galion grew considerably during our recent snowfalls. The new kids are a showy group who thrive in the out-of-doors while the rest of us seek comfort indoors.
I admire people who can turn a cloud into a sculpture. I love seeing their creativity when I am driving around town and country; like the snowflakes that make up their DNA, no two snowmen are the same, which turns an ordinary trip into town a mini adventure.
The one in this picture was made by my friend, Denise. I think that her little guy is the most creative I've seen. If I were a snowman contest judge, Denise would get the blue ribbon for sure!
One reason that I think snowmen bring such joy is that we know that they are fleeting....already the warming temps are causing the happy jolly souls to have severe meltdowns, but the smiles on once frozen faces usually hold on till the bitter end.
In a few days, the rain that is coming will transform our new citizenry into round blobs or messy puddles.
Here's a thought...when the snowmen evaporate and become clouds once more, who knows where they will be reincarnated? Maybe Denise's snowman will materialize in Canada, Switzerland, or even back here in Galion. That's the neat thing about flakes...they flit about freely and do their own things. Is there a lesson to be learned? :)
