Such a nice pair of old boots, Old boots are the best. Think of the miles they have walked and the stories they could tell. :)
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! That photo is wonderful, it would make a great LLBean winter catalog cover!
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! Belongs in the catalog. Love those boots, classic!
ReplyDeleteSpring will be here soon. (I hope) Great photo!
ReplyDeleteSpring has slowly arrived here , we had a thunderstorm last night , no snow left and our migrating birds are arriving !

DeleteHaha, I had those boots in grammar school. The upside is I get to go sledding in a bit with my daughter. The downside is that I spent the morning shoveling and it's still snowing!
ReplyDeletexo-
Great post!!!! Yeah, this snow was a lovely and unexpected surprise after such a snowless Winter.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture! They look very comfy boots!
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be heading for Spring right now. We've had a few warm days, and the birds are singing!

Sorry. I think we sent that stuff to you, but then again further west sent it to us.
ReplyDelete~Bliss~
Yes when we honeymooned in Vermont we were told the winters were bad, but one thing I really love is 'proper' seasons.We dont have properly defined seasons over in Uk, you can get anything more or less any season.We havent had much snow this winter and hopefully it will be finished now.I cant wait for the weather to warm up a bit now.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo! You should go into marketing!!! The great thing about those boots, if you had a problem, you could still bring 'em back to Bean today!
ReplyDeleteAn adorable post. I love this.
ReplyDeleteHi there, So sorry you couldn't be done with the boots; we've got snow coming this afternoon. I am sooo ready for spring but alas we've got at least 8-12 more weeks of winter. I love your Bella-she looks like such a love. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Noreen
Great photo, all we have is so much rain.
ReplyDeleteOur weather is weird. Sunday I had my door open all day it was so warm. Monday lots of snow.,Tue rain and snow. Wed night wind and sleet. Today it is cold and very, very, windy. Now here is the big news. Tomorrow it is suppose to be in the high 60's. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteMy boots are lonely. Not so much as a flake here in my part of Vriginia.
ReplyDeleteWell at least you have some really nice boots to tramp out in the weather with;))
ReplyDeleteI have snow envy! We are in the 80's for the 3rd straight day. Go figure! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteNo doubt those are some hard working boots! Ok, after the last two winters we had don't quote me here... but I kinda miss not having one "real" snow fall this year-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteIf you do not own a pair of LLBean boots your not a New Englander.
ReplyDeleteCathy
ps about 7 inches for us.
Those boots have quite a few tales to tell I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's possibly my fault you're still snowed in...Here in Oz I'm not ready to leave summer and head into autumn just yet. Sorry :(
Don't put those boots away yet, mud season is coming!
ReplyDeleteI had the same LL Bean snow boots years ago! I loved them but my feet got bigger (along with the rest of me..lol) and I couldn't wear them any longer. Hope you have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteNo snow for my boots this winter- they're collecting dust! I wonder if there's hope for a March blizzard?
ReplyDeleteMy condolences from sunny Florida. I'd send you some if I could... Brianne
ReplyDeleteI love it! Short, sweet comment that sums it all up! Awesome photo and text marriage!
ReplyDeleteAmusing Image. There is an old boots but this is also nice and showing its good quality. This kind of boots is used in snowfall zone. Although, I can say here “old is gold”.
