I might lose a few friends for saying this…

but I’d really like just a little kiss of snow.

See, I spent my childhood north of here, in the land of ten thousand lakes, where it snowed from October to April. And the reality of it is that I know snow is messy. Causes car accidents. Smells on your mittens when it’s wet (ew. Sorry for that thought…). But it’s also fun. It brings out the inner child, with snowball fights and forts. Sledding. Ice skating outside. And part of me is longing for that right now, instead of the bitter cold and brown grass we’re seeing plenty of these days.

And I know some of you delightful readers have had more than your share over the last few weeks. So, if you have snow, go out and make a snowman for me, would you? (And send me a pic! Let’s do a contest of snowpeeps! Winner gets my undying admiration jealousy and a $10 gift card for hot cocoa at Starbucks. No snow? Improvise. Let’s see what you’ve got.)

Entries due Sunday 12/19 at midnight CST. Email your photo to info {at} cathymoresphotography {dot} com. Winner to be announced on Tuesday, 12/21.

Wishing you a weekend of snowman-ing!
