Snow Man

It's our first time, so...it might not be perfect but...we tried....
So as you can see, after the last snow storm we all went outside and started working. 



The poet Wallace Stevens wrote in his poem "The Snow Man":

One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter

Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,

Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is. 



We will try to do a better job next time :)
