Sign Of Spring?

As I was driving home from work today, I passed a local college campus and noticed that someone had built a large snowman on the grounds. In the midwest, this is not an unusual sight in the winter but this particular snowman gave me pause. He was holding a very pretty pink parasol in the crook of his right arm to sheild him from the sun. It gave me a little giggle. I don't think he has too much cause for worry, as the temperatures have rarely been above freezing, though I hope it won't be too long before he starts to get smaller and smaller.
