Snow!
So, today in photos:

I rang bells for the Salvation Army today. It was kinda interesting, actually: About half the people will donate at least something. Also, saying “Thank you” makes them really happy, but that’s pretty much always the case.

Then, I helped decorate our 4-H club’s tree at the local historical society fundraiser (it appears to be both for the historical society and the local Lions Club). It turned out reasonable, and got decorated in what has to be record time because everyone was so cold from the bell ringing. (Both were 4-H activities, both had the same people.)

Then, I realized there was a bunch of snow on the sidewalk. Time to do something with that:

That would be my first snowman of the year. Took a bunch of time to make, actually. But I think it looks okay. (Yes, I made a snowman. Yes, by myself.)

Unfortunately, while making the snowman, I managed to get the knees (and for that matter, pretty much everything below them) of my pants soaked. At that point, it was pretty much a good idea to come in and warm up. Got some holiday shopping done (online, of course), and researched some scholarships. Hopefully I’ll get more work done tomorrow.
