The Snow Duck

Just before Christmas we had snow fall mysteriously & quietly during the night! There was much excitement! As soon as they could the children piled out into the street to play in it, along with everyone else!
Jordan....
...and Timmy rolled snowballs all round the street & with the help of several of our neighbours they made.....
....this fabulous snowman! Jordan & the boys next door did give him a name but I have forgotten it. I liked to call him our Community Snowman because everyone pitched in to help make him!
Luke didn't join in the big snowball making but made himself a 'cute snow cloud' instead!
After carrying it around for a while Luke added little black stone eyes & a fluffy body.
He wanted to put his snow cloud man somewhere safe so we went into the back garden & saw the sandpit completely iced over!
Luke decided this was a safe place for the snow cloud & also a great place to ice skate!
Later, Luke asked me to give his snow cloud a carrot nose & there, sitting on the icy pond, the snow cloud became The Snow Duck. :o)

Another delightful chapter in their story!
I still love the snowy days, especially the very first unexpected fall when you wake up in the morning and the bedroom has a different sort of light and you pull back the curtains...! No wonder the Daviestribe was excited! They may forget a lot about their childhood but the snowy days will always be a magical memory.
