The Snowballs of Yesteryear

Until this weekend, putting "snowball fight" into Google News might not have yielded that many results. But the one in Dupont Circle over the weekend got some attention.

That's what we need in winter, more spontaneous mass snowball fights. Nothing like that would ever happen around here, maybe because we're too inured with snowfall, but more likely because gathering en masse in the dead of winter isn't so easy in the suburbs.

Our snowball actions will probably never involve more than a few people. Pictured above is one from four or five years ago. There's no date on the photo, but Lilly hasn't been that short, or able to wear that silver coat, in several years.
