Rolling A Giant

I scooped up a fistful of fresh snow and patted it firm between both plush hands! Squeak, pat, pat! It turned into a neat little marble. Total invitation! I set it down on the flat stone cap of the low brick wall and gave it a gentle nudge with my sneaker. Crunch, roll, glide! As it tumbled across the frosty masonry, it grabbed every loose snowflake in its path. It grew from a tiny marble into a round, chubby snowball almost as big as my chest! I braced both hands against its frosty belly to brake it right at the edge. My very first winter boulder!
