A Snowman no more…

Down came the rains and washed the Snowman out…

Can I be heartbroken over a melted Snowman?

Yes, when my 3-year old grandson Henry meticulously created the Snowman (on top of my patio table that should have been winter-stored by now) from perfectly packed snow, winter berries, sticks, a carrot, ferns, mittens that no longer fit him and his wonderful imagination

Henry carefully placed each berry, each stick, each “crop” of hair (even remarking that the ferns could be used as reindeer antlers).

Henry asked for a little carrot and little mittens.

It was a warm afternoon, so I let Henry sit outside on my deck as he set about his work and then worked and worked.  And worked.

Last night it began to rain.  Henry called me to ask if his Snowman was still there.

I assured Henry that the rain would end.  It would get cold again.  And… well, you know.

But what I didn’t anticipate seeing this morning as I peeked at my back deck was this…

Oh my goodness.

I know all that stuff about solids, liquids and gases existing and depending upon the temperature, pressure and nature of those substances.

I know all about how our world is constantly cycling as a solid, liquid or gas.

I know about melting… my heart, that is.

But I don’t think a Science lesson is in order here.

I think a Love lesson will do, in the form of lots of solid Hugs.

And another Snow Storm.  Pronto!
