Winter

Winter of 1968. I believe this is taken in the backyard of house #1.  I am pretty sure that shed is my key clue.  We lived in Seattle, so this looks like a lot of snow for that part of Washington state.  My brother and I are four and three, respectively. 

Observations - I think Rick looks really happy with this snowman.  He also appears to be bundled up and toasty warm.  Notice he has boots, mittens and a coat that looks plenty warm.  I will be the first to admit I might be a bit biased but take note; I have tennis shoes on, no mittens, and it might just be me but my coat looks a little small. I wonder if that is why I appear slightly stiff and possible partially frozen.

The snowman is very funny...someone needed to teach us to roll and stack - instead it looks like we made a large cone and decorated it with three rocks.  I am not sure what is defining the snowman's head, but it looks like a stick to me.

Embrace your memories and look closely at your photos - I am most certain they will make you smile.  As I type this that is exactly what I am doing!
