SUPER SLIDER SNOW SKATES!!

winter

 

it's not officially winter here yet, but we know it's on its way...


Soon, the leaves will be gone, and a cold white blanket will cover the earth,
& the little birds will find a place to huddle & cuddle away from the howling of the wind.

I know that for many of you, winter means having to put on a sweater, but here in Eastern Canada, winter means heavy coats & boots, thick scarves & mittens, and frozen noses.

And yet, i look forward to it almost as much as i did when i was a kid, when we'd spend days outside, on our "super slider snow skates" - red, hard plastic little ski-like contraptions that would attach to our boots and make us look like drunk idiots on the snow. Like wearing Crazy Carpets on our feet. 

...so much fun.  :-)

Life isn't always logical...

I always love Starbucks' Christmas coffee cups... great, simple, clean design.



...and for those of you who dare, try the Pumpkin Spice Latte.
I think it's something like a million calories, but who's counting?
mmmmmmm.... :-)
