He's Baaaaack!

I have a neighbor (and by "neighbor," I mean "guy who lives about 5 miles away on the route I sometimes take home from work") who makes the most amazing snow sculptures in his front yard. The last time I saw him, he was up on a ladder working on an 8 foot high replica of Rodin's The Thinker, but that was two or three years ago. I thought he'd moved. Then I was driving past his house last Friday and he had an 8 foot high sculpture of a hand holding an Olympic torch aloft out of his yard, and he was up on a ladder in his neighbor's yard working on another statue. It could have been Roman but was probably Greek to go along with the Olympic theme. Either way, he wasn't far enough along with it for me to recognize it.

I just wish I could get pictures, but that stretch of road is very busy and has no shoulder, or stop sign, or stop light where I could pause to get a good shot. He really does do fantastic work. Sometimes, depending on what he's making, he even colors them with food coloring and water in a spray bottle.
