We got about 10" of snow over the weekend -- wet, heavy snow PERFECT for building snow-women! So I did. Then I took her picture with Babe and Cheddar ....
Yikes! How do you get the dogs to pose next to her like that? Very cute. Won't be long until the weather is more like that from the Caribbean. Perhaps your snowwoman is a harbinger of spring?
i can see how the dogs would sit still but how did you make your snow-woman sit still. wasn't it refreshing to get up that morning and seeing that you wouldn't have to mow the yard that day. oh what a rerlief,huh. at least you got outside to enjoy the day!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything by Gunter Grass, who was a member of the Hitler youth and later was horrified at what he'd been a part of when he toured Dachau. After reading, discuss with ERB! Can also cheat and watch Tin Drum.
Anything by Joann Harris (Holy Fools; Chocolate; Five Quarters of the Orange); recommended by the Shoreland Book Club
Couldn't Keep It to Myself: Wally Lamb and the Women of York Correctional Institution (Testimonies from our Imprisoned Sisters) by Wally Lamb (recommended by Meg from Cohort 11)
