you love 'em; i love 'em : w e l l i e s

as soon as the temperatures cooled down and rain was in the forecast,

i got my wellies out of the closet, and was so giddy about it that i had

the urge to line up my pretty wellies...like i used to line up my 

stuffed animals when i was a wee little one, and i invited them to have 

a "tea party" with me {because none of my six siblings would have one with me...ya, you can feel sorry for me}.

so i lined up my wellies like a proud mama. 

some people have kids; some have dogs. i have boots.

i realized that if i wanted to really show my love and dedication to my boots

they ought to have names...don't you think?

my oldest pair {5 years!} is the green pair. i think if i named them i'd call them "treebeard"

because these boots entered my life and taught me not to be too hasty in life.

the next pair would be my red pair {3 years old...and, oddly, the least worn}.

i think i'd name them "robin" because their color is the color i imagine in my head

that would match the breast of the little bird who shows mary where the secret garden is.

and, finally, the blue pair {2 years old}. i'd name them "little jeans"...just because they're 

just such cute and functional little guys. 

hooray for wellies and wellie-appropriate weather!
