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!




{come back later today to see the photos of our first winter picnic...we got snow yesterday...wahoo!}

treebeard, the little bird, little jeans....I can't pick my favorite.
I don't have a lot of cause to wear wellies in the central valley of ca where I live but they would be fun just to have. ;)

When our little family visitedt he Uk for the first time (a LIFE LONG DREAM COME TRUE) we each had our separate little wish list. Mine was simple - drink tea (in the worlds tea drinking capital) and buy a pair of Hunters. Yay! My wish came true (In Inverness of all places?) and I can proudly join you in saying that I too have named mine! (so relieved to meet a fellow Wellie christening gal) I actually named each boot (Hmmm) Duke & Duchess ... why? I feel like royalty when I wear them :-) Thank you for sharing!
