I have never met a child who can brave the elements more than Neko. Give her a yard full of snow, and she’ll stay out there for ages. It’s also where her sometimes elusive extreme focus kicks in.
Today she hunkered down, determined to make a snowman, despite the fact that everyone else found the fire and warm slippers a much more attractive alternative. She’d go work for a while, come back in and warm up, and then back out she’d go. Then there was the great debate of how to accessorize, especially since lumps of coal are not common around these parts.
By mid-afternoon, she called us outside to admire her work.
But don’t call it a snowman. Or snow-woman. Apparently, this snow creation is gender neutral.
