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!}

call out the wellies!

photo by me, down by the river next to our home in california. (p.s. i'm noticing that the color of my photos changes from computer to computer...i'll have to fix that)
what do i love more than rain?
thunder storms!!
the national weather service is forecasting rain and t-storms tomorrow
and rain for the rest of the week!
so get out your wellies for splashing in puddles...
not to mention their rubbery protection from possible lightning strikes (right?!)
hooray for storms!
(sorry that ceej had to ride his bike home in a down-poor...but now he's warm and dry!)
