The big snowman when I was 5 years old

This is in the pasture at the Atwood Hatchery that belonged to Aunt Laura and Uncle Ed in Comanche.  The woman on the right of the snowman is my mom Anna Louise.  Bill and I are sitting on the home-made sled that Daddy made for the occasion.  I am sure he took this picture.

On the left you can see one of the chicken houses at the Atwood Hatchery where the hens laid eggs.

snow in the pasture

This was about 1943 I think.  We had a terrific snow and the grownups made this huge snowman.  Daddy built a sled out of lumber, tied it to the back of our car and towed us around (slowly, of course) in Uncle Ed's pasture.  I can still remember that day.  The snow made everything so quiet, and we screamed with laughter, and everybody was really happy that day.

There is another great photo and paragraph about this at
