Happy birthday Josephine!

Frosty has been a long-time friend of ours. [Here are his various outfits over the years: Frosty-the-snowman AKA Mr. Dress-up] Here is Josephine with him in Bala, 2010.  Josephine is 14 today. Happy birthday to our eldest grandie! No party here this year. Maybe we'll celebrate her birthday, and mine (Dec. 26) in January! 

JB came in from his walkies and let me know that poor Frosty had been blown right off the tree stump. It was secured with 3" screws, but the wood has rotted. Frosty lost his hat, as well. At least it wasn't a face plant!


I moved him to the bench, his hat beside him. It cracked, split and has fallen off. I think his day is done. I've repainted him several times. 


We had 8 cm snow, which mostly melted. You can see the rodent trails from under the snow.

The frog pond sleeps.

Josee is off to band practice this morning. Cannot believe where the years go! Our beautiful girls.

Why is it so difficult to see time pass realistically?

Happy Birthday Josephine, have a wonderful day up North.And alas for Frosty, his days are done, you might need to rejuvenate him ( maybe NOT ) or build another new one.

I rather like Frosty in the chair. It sounds like he needs a well-deserved rest! And a special happy birthday to Josephine!
