Frosty Morn
It was a frosty morning yesterday as I headed out to grab a coffee. Sometimes light just falls the right way. On mornings like this in November right through the winter, my walks to school never included gloves or mittens. Piles of books and a bag lunch, yes. No, to anything that might echo a kind of weakness. That and the added factor that it was just not cool to be seen with hand coverings. Or as my young female friends might have said back then, ''it's just not sharp." Now if you're thinking that, if the Beatles hadn't 'hit' America they way they did, and if I didn't try to copy the latest 'mod' fashion, and if I didn't have gal pals who worshipped the sweaters the Stones appeared in on Sullivan, and if I didn't listen to late night radio out of NYC to catch the latest music of the British invasion bands, that I might not be suffering these days with cold, white fingers. You might be right. Why didn't I listen to Mom on this one.
We lived up in Utah and in the White Mountains of Arizona. We didn't have any gloves either.
ReplyDeleteGloves, hats, boots...I had it all. How uncool is that? You have a gorgeous photo today!
ReplyDeleteYou caught a beautiful November landscape! For me, gloves get sharper to wear every year! Hats, not so much...It's apparently still sharp for teens to go without outer clothes on winter days..

ReplyDeleteNice colors Birdman.
ReplyDeletei still hate to wear hats or mittens and make do with hoods and pockets 99% of the time. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's cool to be hip or is it the other way around BIrd? ANyway, the light here is magnificent. Sorry about the frost though. Too early for that nonsense, says this Southern belle! LOL

I still don't like hats!
ReplyDeleteI'm with RedPat - I rarely wear hats. But gloves or mittens I wear for sure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light on a chilly November morning. That field is just crying out for snow, and it won't be long before it arrives. As a kid I usually had a hat and gloves, not because I was uncool, but because I was always cold in the winter time. Ah, my ride south leaves in about two weeks.
ReplyDeleteI would freeze to death, literally, at the bus stop in Minot, North Dakota, in my fashionable attire. Who has time to bundle up?! lol
ReplyDeleteThere are some pretty cool hats, and in cold weather I have worn hats for a great many years. (Most of them pay homage to Indiana Jones . . . ) And, at least since my teen years I have worn gloves most of the time. Of course, heading south in the winter is a good option . . .
ReplyDeleteI have my gloves with me always. Moving from Phoenix to here I get colder at easier than the locals.
ReplyDeleteNever wore hats or gloves as a kid, but now I adore both and collect them with abandon. Better to face a Minnesota winter.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of a farm nearby my house!!! So cool!!!!!!!!!
