something i miss in the summer

i am trying to savor every season of life that I am entering

 in addition to the normal seasons:

winter, spring, summer, fall.

taking a photo every day makes me more aware of my surroundings

documenting my thoughts enhances my thankfulness

and i notice my blessings more also

it may seem wierd

but i actually prefer winter over summer at times

as I tried to clean-up a few blog drafts, i opened a post with a "boot" photo

i bought these boots in October 09

during our family vacation at Surfside Beach

this became my footwear of choice this past winter

one of the TH symbols fell off in November, but that didn't matter

they were comfortable and I could wear them with casual or dressed-up outfits
 

the best part about them: they were not expensive

(actually a kid's size bought at an outlet store)

when i put them up this spring,

the shine had faded some

wear and tear showed

but i think i can wear them again  -

in the next cooler season

for now

i will fondly recall my kiddie boots

just one of the things i miss in the sweltering, summer weather
