Snow Minions Revisited

I believe it was around this time last year that I happened upon a pair of the elusive Snow Minions.  Who could have imagined that it would happen again - perhaps they are migratory?

The temperatures were a bit warmer today and the snow was starting to melt.  I would be willing to wager that this particular pair of minions wanted to enjoy the snow before it melted away.

The smaller of the two emerged first, testing the surroundings.

I could tell this was the same minion as last year - the markings had changed a bit, but pink was present as always.  She is a bit more reckless and daring this time around though.

The larger of the pair was more subdued and focused on his tasks but I could identify him instantly in his plethora of handknits.  I was close enough to hear him say, "I'm an artist.  Snow is my medium."

It wasn't all work though; he did manage to fit in a little play time.

The Snow Minions' Father even came into the mix!  He was teaching the Minions important skills like rolling a large snowball and more importantly, dodging the smaller projectiles...

It was a fun time had by all, and at the end, a little relaxation is in order.
