Heroin problem is ‘epidemic’

February 12, 2014What do you get when you combine one school cancelation, 8 inches of wet packing snow, a couple dozen happy kids of all ages and a sprinkle of imagination? A recipe for a snowman invasion!
It was hard not to miss all the extra lawn decorations around town last week that popped up as soon as it stopped snowing. The classic three tiered snowperson hasn’t really changed much since I was a kid; button/rock eyes and mouth, carrot nose, pipe or cigar, scarf and hat and arms made from branches.
Apparently though, there are now snowman kits you can buy that come with all the items in plastic, just add the giant snow balls… but really; where is the fun in that?
The most creative one I saw had celery eyes, a cherry nose, broccoli ears and pasta hair with carrots, but by the time I returned with my camera their dog had eaten most of it. There was an adorable little reindeer snowman and a snowbear that never got decorated but perhaps the most impressive was the Carden igloo!
