Today's Archived Snow Shots

Posted by Paul in Warrensburg on December 1, 2022, 8:37 am

On pondering Snowflake's life, I'm thinking I oughtta put together her story
on blogspot. She's just quirky fun enough the project could be a pleasant one.

I would like to read it.

Pried from an icy driveway?

She definitely has a new lease on life at your place.

I used to be the courier for Trails Regional Libraries in Johnson and Lafayette Counties in MO...

...on one of my winter deliveries at Waverly, MO, which had a recently graveled parking lot,
I got out of my van and saw a partially submerged head. I was curious, so I got something out
to pry it out of the ice and snow-pack. The head took some work to get freed from the ice.
I guess most folks in their right mind would've thrown it out as too beat up and dirty,
but then, 'right mind' is overrated. I don't know why, but I brushed it off and stashed the
head in my trip-bag. The head stayed an all-but-forgotten project for months, if not
even years. What must that head have gone through? Somehow, it was severed from its
original body. It found its way to either a rock quarry to be tossed around with the gravel,
or the rock truck. Then it got dumped on the ground, spread and ground about as the tractor
bladed the gravel smooth. Cars packed it in place as they parked to get their library books.
Then, I found that dirty, cut-up, face-obliterated head peeking up at me through the rock...
"Please save me!"

I think this shot was taken when I finally took her out of storage to put her into the photos.
It was after the preliminary washings and more washing and brushings.

There's now 124 photos in Snowflake's devoted folder

Snowflake looks right at home out in the snow!

Well, THAT was a fun romp through the snow, or Snowflake photos...

What Monster High figure was Snowflake, originally? --of course, now, I'll be
googling to find the answer, too...

Was she a Spectra Vondergeist?

Not convinced of that, but...

Argh! I did it!

I think Snowflake might be in for an overhaul. I ordered two used 2008ish
Spectra Vondergeists off e-bay.
