Boots

I love the fall, despite the fact that it means the summer is over and with it my break from teaching. I love it despite the fact that it means no more sweet summer corn, grilling outside on the barbeque, staying at the ranch, swimming at the lake or going camping
I love fall because the world turns brilliant shades of yellow orange and gold.

I love fall because you get to play in the trees.....



And I love fall because you get to wear cozy sweaters and cute boots. Particularly these boots....

I bought these boots a couple of years ago and they are still my number one fashion item for comments. I don't think I have EVER worn these boots in public and not received a comment on them. Strangers, friends, mere acquaintances....everyone has something to say about these boots. Besides the general bland comments like "cute" "cool" and "awesome" these boots have been called "gnarly" "radical" "psycadelic" "tripped out" "bombtastic" and "crazy" --and those are only the comments I remember! Thank you fall weather for providing me with the opportunity to see what else people are going to say about these boots. If you want to think up some clever adjectives, go ahead and leave them in the comments.....
