slice of life for day four,
Snow Sweep, take 2.
Final vestiges of winter
were packed away
and carted to the attic.
Until day seventeen when
I spy his yellow-banded black hat
trimmed with festive holly
and secured with a red button.
His star studded fringed scarf,
with matching jingle bells
two coal black eyes,
and carrot nose
adorn his cotton-filled head.
He shouts gleefully
through a cross stitched mouth,
"I hid in plain sight,
yet you missed me
during Snow Sweep 1
and Snow Sweep 2.
I hereby claim for 2025
the coveted title,
The Lone Straggler!"
I recall reading of your "snowman packup" earlier, for I still had my snowman decorations out, too, at the time. Was glad I did because it snowed and my little granddaughter got to build her first snowman. Your snowman on the door is precious. The poem of his hiding in plain sight during your Snow Sweeps is absolutely adorable. You may have given me an idea for a post!!
