Our snow angel

Angel in Bala, 2009

This angel has a special place in my heart. JB and I bought it for my parents. I'm sure it was during an artisan's tour in Muskoka, perhaps around 2001, or so, as we toured around one summer. Funnily enough, we had a dump of snow overnight (11+ cm or ☞ 4½"), and we're going to have to do some digging out.

She is pretty in her white, and I've spray painted her several times. At one point, her head fell off, due to rust. We took her to the guy nearby, and he reattached her, and repainted her for $10. 

I left her repainting too late this year.  It has to be above 10 C. for the paint to stick and dry. It didn't go well. I began to paint her, then ran out of white spray paint.

She's had her trials, in the snow, and wind. I brought home a pallet, and she'll sit there for winter. 

I sent hubby off to buy me some more spray paint. White for Angel, gold for some other things. Turns out, it was too cold for the white to stick. The excellent gold paint really stuck, even on a cold, rainy day. Then I sprayed the candelabra, too. They are fastened to the pallet. Our winds can be fierce.
