Makes you wonder what snowmen of past ages looked like.

The only commission the young Michelangelo had from Piero de’ Medici was a snowman in the courtyard of the palace. What could that have looked like?

Thanks for the great pictures!

And the various twig hair styles are a lot of fun!

Thanks, GA, for the wonderful ‘Disappearing Art’ show. Stay warm!

And the depressed looking snowman by the railings made me chuckle – perhaps he knew his what his fate was a going to be in a day or two…

And it was great seeing the footage of the children out and about yesterday enjoying the snow which must mean more than ever this year after weeks of lockdown confinement.

One would like to invite some of these Fellows home. Especially the sad one and the little one sitting on the bench.

A few days ago there was a blanket of snow in front of my flat. All the Children in the Neighbourhood were busy building Snowmen. Within a short time, there were suddenly eight different ones! What is always sad are the following days of melting…

Love & Peace
ACHIM
