The Wonderful Neighbors

I was working away making Banana Nut Muffins to use up some aged bananas. The dogs started barking to alert me that someone was outside. They have been doing that a lot lately, since Star is in heat and the neighbors 2 doors over have a male dog that frequently visits. Then I heard voices and went to investigate. The Wonderful Neighbor children were out making me a snowman that will stand guard and look into my front door. :) They are very good about sharing their snowman skills with me. Here they are with the finished snowman!!
