Snowman
We had first snow on October 26. That snow didn’t stay for long, only two days! When girls saw the snow in the morning (together with the deer family) they wanted to stay home and build a snowman!
So, why not. We build two small snowmen and by that time it was raining, so we placed them on the old water well. That old well has a roof!
Our snowmen stand there and were safe for a while. Nelle already knew what they look like. These two look like grandma Ilze and grandpa Viesturs.
We love Ilze & Viesturs! They are full of humor and so energized! Always finding joy in hard work like getting wood from the forest, planting new trees, growing vegetables and taking care of fields! They are working hard, but they don’t realize that – they are enjoying! They are loving it!
Ilze
P.S. We are happy about Paule, who’s starting here own veterinarian praxis! GO, GIRL!

Great snowmen and a great idea to build them under cover. We should have been building snowmen here according to weather forecasts last week: “Arctic conditions”. It never materialised and the ‘worst’ we have had so far is frost the day before yesterday and this morning, though very slight this morning; I didn’t need to defrost the car windscreen.
If and when we get snow Petronela will be out there building a snowman for sure, and out there with her camera. I might be tempted to take a walk 😜
🙂 I hope you will have snow this year (for Petronela)! I love building small snowmen 🙂
Considering it rarely snows here in South Texas, please share more snow pics when it snows more! Those are so cute!
Thank you, I hope we will have wonderful winter with deep snow and sun 🙂
The first snow is so magical!!! And what an adorable picture of the new veterinarian. She should be jumping with joy. It is a lot of schooling and an accomplishment to be very proud of.
It was a lot of schooling! And I’m happy she did that (it was one and half year ago) – she was pregnant (6 month) in that picture! Never give up 🙂 And now she has wonderful boy, who celebrated 1st year in september. Pumpkin! 😉
A little too early for snow! jk, I am sure my 2.5 year old would love it this year compared to when he was younger, can’t wait. Creative snowmen, we will try to create an Olaf 😀
We had Olaf last year 🙂 this time grandmother and granddad 😀
That is awesome! Frozen is big over here, or was; however we are in a How to Train your Dragon phase for now!
😀 How to Train your Dragon is good one too, but not for my girls – they are “princesses”! 🙂
ah, I can see that, that is the difference between having boys and girls, enjoy the little princesses :))
Best wishes and greetings for Ilze & Viesturs ! 🙂 Did you get your name in honor of grandma? 🙂
No. Ilze is one of most popular name in Latvia. Ilze is my mother in law and grandmother for my kids 🙂
Very beautiful name 🙂
Wow snow so early! They were calling for snow here on Friday but it’s been changed to rain which is much more normal. I love that you all name your snowmen after family:)
😀 That was Nelles idea and we agreed 🙂 What’s better than having grandparents in front of window every morning!
That’s awesome- just another way to have the grandparents close:)
🙂 Actually they are living 800 meters (~0.50 miles) away from us!
Even better. I grew up with my grandparents close by and it had a great positive impact on my life
Good to know! Cause sometimes I think it’s not good having them so close! Grandparents role is to spoil… they are spoiling them too much 😀
Ya they spoil but I think they also give a lot of life lessons:) or at least mine did!
🙂 That is good! And I would agree with you if I’m take a sneak peak in my childhood memories 🙂
I love the first snow but I am not ready for it here. So, you may keep it in Latvia for now and I will enjoy your pictures. Thanks for sharing.
I would gladly do so! I love snow better than mud!
We have ‘Olaf’s Frozen Advenure’ on in the cinema so everything will be Frozen again this Christmas – love the snowmen by the way
I didn’t know there is such movie!!!! Need to check!
[…] Remember Paula? She opened here vet clinic so we can have/do all necessary checkups and procedure… […]
Respect for the funny snowmen! In Holland more and more hilarious ones keep popping up as well. Really boosts the holiday feeling. So here are a few snowy drunkies for you to enjoy: https://lordsofthedrinks.com/2017/12/11/11-hilarious-drunken-snowmen/
