March 6, 2013 -- snow shoes

This is what happens when you're snowed in and don't have power. (I'm posting this from my iPad.) I spent the morning cleaning out closets and ran across this pair of shoes I'd been saving thinking one of my granddaughters might use them for dress-ups. I wore them to a rehearsal dinner over 40 years ago! Anyway, I had decided it was past time to get rid of them, when, because they were purple (and so were my windowsill flowers) I decided to use them as "vases." Too bad this color isn't true--this is all royal purple, not blue.
