Snowmen of 2010

The invasion continues. Even now in the rural areas of our fine land....

Southeast of Aylmer in a little hamlet we found this trio!

 

Standing guard, I think they were, on these people's lawn!

 

The biggest one called out to us: Hey! 
My names' Pete! 
(I think he was a bit of a pot head!)


 

The smaller one was a little goofie, rolling his eyes around like they weren't attached or something!
Is that a speaking hole in his throat or a slipped third eye?
I was afraid, I can tell you!
But Dick held my hand comforting me and then the obvious female of the troop spoke:




Halllooo! Take us to your leader!

And we high-tailed it outa' there... so sorry, we don't know the rest of the story!

Snowmen of 2010

On the south side of St Thomas, Ontario is a short cul de sac. Mostly mid 70's ranch style brick houses.... a quiet place... A nice neighborhood to raise a family in safety and comfort....


Imagine my horror to discover that the notorious Snow Family had moved in?
I mean sure... I've read about them in the newspapers... who hasn't? 
But to meet them in person? 

What's the neighborhood coming to! 



Call 911! Call the mounties! Call Somebody would you?





This was the meanest looking one. See? You can't even see his eyes!



Look! He's got that hat pulled way down over his eyes! 
Suspicious, don't you think?


The mother of the bunch is quite a piece too!




Is this a new trend in head gear or does she think this is summer?

 

Do I have to go shopping now to keep up? 

And then the child... Oh! The poor little thing!






So bow legged! Maybe they simply couldn't afford braces?




At least he has a muffler against the cold!


Hey Dick! Call the rental place for a steam cleaner and let's clean up this neighborhood!

On a more serious note: 


If any one wonders why I love and feature snowmen as I do?
They are sculpture. Pure forms of expression. 
And many of these snow people are the first attempts at sculpture by a child.


They are so wonderful and expressive and I love them all!

Snowmen of 2010


Daddy! UGGH!
Why did you sneeze on me! You've covered me all up!



Hey! I got some on myself too! 
Would somebody come and wipe this off!


I found these two on Sunset Drive, just south of St Thomas, Ontario.

Snowmen of 2010

I'm going to share any snowmen that I encounter on my travels this Ontario, Canada winter. I'm delighted to start with these!




The stick arms on the little guy are so expressive waving to the bigger one.

 
 
These guys were found in Sparta, Ontario on a lawn. The bright blue of the hat just makes the white so vivid!
