There is a great mound of snow in the parking lot next to my home. Whenever the snow clearing guys go through to clear it, they have created this mound. No photo of the snow monster did it justice. It’s really quite ugly, rather grey with the dirt and gravel from the parking lot. Not only grey, but it looks like a giant sprawling snow monster with a yawning mouth in its side. Not the neat entry that an igloo may have, just a large, gaping hole in the side of this ever growing mound of snow. Aesthetically it is not at all pleasing, thus the photo of a camouflaged bunny rabbit at the base of a tree. It certainly hops out of the way when the children race through the snow, squealing and laughing.
In the day time, there are three or more children in bright orange snow suits climbing and sliding on the back of the snow monster. When a mom or dad calls ‘time for supper’ pieces of cardboard or a ‘borrowed’ yoga mat, get stored in the snow monsters mouth til tomorrow. Ah, the resiliency of children!

is that they’re almost never saying it to the monsters.” - Alice Healy”
