in the meadow we can build a snowman



more snow dumps on past snow, the temperature drops and as cabin fever sets in we are forced to create new ways to eat pizza and pad thai. my boyfriend flew in for the weekend but since he could only stay for 36 hours and we're both short on moola, beck, seth, paul and i used a little ingenuity and imagination to make the most of it.

we went urban sledding.

two of the sleds were from a previously mentioned hillside thievery and a third had been scored at an REI give-away. the sun shone brightly but did nothing to heat up our escapade and smiles were frozen on after 7.6 seconds upon disembarking from the warmth of the trooper. we suffered some possible broken tailbones and nearly lost some toes to frostbite but i'd say it was worth it. nothing like a little sub-zero powder in the face in the shadow of some DTC skyscrapers.
