Sailor saw it coming before the rest of us here in KY. We’ve been surprised with a sudden batch of snow and blessed with the chilly northern winds that drift our way. A Kentucky winter isn’t bad compared to the conditions of northern states, but the sticky humidity of the southern summers only leave us shaking in our boots when this time rolls around. To us, 30 degrees is cold, and personally I started complaining about a month ago. I’m just not that into winter or anything under 60 degrees in temperature. ‘Cept for frozen yogurt.
Winter brings about the need for a billion scarves. Thanks to my Papa, I have a new way to organize my collection of scarves. Anyone could put together one of these diy organizers. It’s just a board with 3-prong hooks (that you can pick up at WalMart or any hardware store). Before I acquired this neat accessory, I had scarves hanging off curtain rods, around bed posts, and on the corners of bookshelves and chairs. So maybe I once thought of scarves as room decorations, but I’ll admit I do like them better hanging on my organizer. Since it’s in my closet, I can just turn right around after I get dressed, pick a scarf that matches, and go.
Winter, here I come. With my warm scarf and a cup of hot coffee in hand, I am ready to head out on a Christmas shopping adventure – little Bowling Green turns into a metropolis during the holidays. Everyone from every surrounding county ends up here, buying all the things before the residents get a chance. So off I go to beat them to it this year. Sorry, Sailor, even though you were born in your winter coat, you can’t go shopping with me.
