A foot and a half of perfect snowman building material on the ground.
I had the day off because of it. So I decided to take advantage of the medium
and create something beautiful. So taking the snow from the sidewalk and
the driveway, I made a huge pile in the front yard, 20 ft from the street.
As I worked, people going by stopped to watch, a few taking pictures.
Six hours later, stood a six foot high by eight foot wide,
detailed "stone work" archway, with turrets on each side.
On my way out the door the next morning,
there on the snow covered lawn were tire tracks leading to
chunks of white rubble. Upon the turret which remained upright,
I scrawled, "BLESSED BE" and then trugded off to work.
Returning later in the afternoon, as I stood staring at the top half of the turrent
which had been upright a few hours before but was now laying on the ground,
the neighbor lady came out and said a group of teen-agers had walked by and
one of them ran up into the yard and did a full body slam against it.
That just sux.
