The Last Snowman of 2010

The weather is beginning to get warmer here in the Midwest. The days are getting longer and the days are bright and sunny. But, there is still a lot of snow around and my kids decided to make one last snowman before it all melts. Of course it could still snow before the summer comes.

The snowman wasn't very large but it was cute. We used carrots for the nose and eyes and we used one of mommy's hats to top it all off.

Let It Snow!!

I took this photo several days ago. This is a feeder that hangs outside one of our kitchen windows. It was snowing at the time and it seemed to me that hummingbirds have the right idea about migrating to warmer climes.

It's been a snowy winter here in Chicago but not overly cold. Some people here have labeled it as "brutal", but I disagree. It hasn't been so bad.
