Snowballs as Big as Your Head

The first snow does have its charms. One of them is bushes covered in snow, especially if you've strung lights on them. It looked this way on Saturday. Later, sunlight thinned out the snow cover on the bush, but not so much the ground.

Saturday was all right for snowball fighting. Lilly and Ann had a running snowball fight during much of the afternoon. This is Ann, showing off one of her projectiles.

Off camera, Lilly had a large ball of her own. It was a case of mutually assured splatter.
