Minnesota Prairie Roots

IN THE YARD OF A CUTE craftsman style house at a busy intersection in Faribault, a patriotic snowman greets passersby. I pass by this sunny yellow home often. On my way to and from church. On my way to and from Minnesota State Highway 60.

I don’t know who lives at 402 Division Street. But I appreciate the creativity of this snowman. Red and blue votive candles for buttons. American flags for arms. An American flag banner cinched around the snowman’s waist.

Even red and blue dye for lips.

This isn’t your average snowman or snowwoman, whichever it may be.

Tell me about any creative snow people you’ve seen, even built.
