Time to try and overcome the fear of snow...
... put on proper winter boots with studded soles...
... and get out there...
... even if just to the dustbins, plus a few steps extra!
(Cold winds blowing, so not tempting to stay out long...)
Back in - after my five minutes or so of "braving it" - I got Barbie and Skipper to dress for winter, too. Skipper is wearing a pair of winter boots that I made for her earlier in the autumn, from two fingers cut off from a worn-out glove. And if anyone is wondering what it is that she is holding under her arm, that's a little yarn gnome that I found under the sofa earlier in the autumn, and who must have been hiding there since last Christmas - if not longer... I entrusted him to Skipper to look after until this Christmas, and she's taking her job seriously.
Skipper seems perfectly prepared for the season: boots, gnome and all, proving that even the tiniest guardians take their winter duties to heart.
ReplyDeletethis is too funny, I love it, braving the cold for FIVE minutes ha ha ha, it takes long than that to put on and take off the studded boots. I remember the boots, and you are right, since you walk everywhere you go and you live where you live and snow is there most of the winter, you were brave and you did it
ReplyDeleteIt's as well to be cautious in poor conditions.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Skipper and Barbie are suitably dressed for the weather.
