The term “snow bunny” has taken on a more literal meaning for Mary Diamond of South Shore Road in Old Forge, who took advantage of the late season snowfall to continue with a long-time family tradition—with an added twist.
In lieu of the annual snowmen she has created, photographed and shared with her far-flung grandchildren for ten years running, a snow bunny now adorns her front deck.
The tradition arose from a time when Diamond created a spring snowman at Easter-time with her visiting grandchildren.
She said it was easier ten years ago than it’s been in recent years to round up enough snow for a spring snowman. But this year, it was a breeze.
Diamond’s seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren range in ages from one to thirty-seven and are spread out in Texas, California, New York and Arizona.
