Every winter, they build these statues: They must have important cultural significance..."

    It certainly would be a mystery if I built one here! :)

      Lee; a mystery here too, the last time I saw anything resembling snow was when I scraped frost out of the freezer way back in '84 and let the kids make snowballs from it.

    Cute! I'm with Lee. No snow here, either, but on the verrrrrry rare occasion it does fall here, I simply have to scoot outside to make a snowman. (The last one I made was about three inches tall... that's all the snow I could gather together.)

      Susan; and did you take a photo of it? I have a photo somewhere of my grandkids standing by a tiny, tiny snowman up on a mountain in Tasmania.

    I wonder what are the origins of building a snowman. It seems to be in our genes now.....snow = build a snowman.

      Andrew; there's a research program for you: the origins and meanings of snowman building.

    When you think about it, they sort of do have cultural significance. No one makes snow-rats, right? :)

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.
