A Snowman For You Pt 1

I awoke this morning to find a foot and half of snow all around covering the ground. I quickly got dressed wearing several layers of clothes. Plus a winter mask to protect my ears and nose. Snow equals very cold weather. I thought about you, wishing you were here with me - us together. Yes us together to act silly in this snow so white, and to run from each other having a snow ball fight. I made sure I grabbed my I-phone and then slipped my gloves on. So bright was the pure white snow. I'm just glad the wind didn't blow. I was ready to begin. I would keep my promise to Charma and build her a snowman. First you start with a single snowball. The size of a big softball. Not too small. Then you place it on the ground rolling it around; rolling it end over end. I was determined to build this snowman for my friend. Round and around on the ground, bigger picking up more and more snow. Building snowmen you can never out grow. Bigger and bigger it gets until it is as round and high as a tree. Three giant snowballs for his body you have to admire. I stacked his giant round snowballs on top of the other which were quite heavy. I managed by myself which wasn't easy. Your snowman wasn't complete. I wanted to make him so real like he had a "heart beat." I went around to my back yard to find a fallen tree limb. I had to have arms for him! After I put both stick-arms on either side; I returned back inside because there were other things that must be applied. Continued in Pt 2 Note: Here's Pt 1 of your snowman poem Charma:)
