The Big Chill

It hasn't snowed for over a week and yet as we drive along, there in the shades it lingers. On the sides of steep hills, in tall piles, lurking beneath the tight branches of bushes, the snow remains. Despite the bright sun that beats down upon us, the temperature remains cold and the white crystals cling to their ephemeral life. In places that are hidden away and when all the small particles are lumped together they find the power to resist the changes in weather and attempts to warm the earth. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere.
I froze in this yesterday, the fact that our heater comes and goes as it pleases like a wayward child has not helped.scrunchy socks, color mix, theclotheshorsebrown, oxfords, scrunchy socks, theclotheshorse

Being cute is always morale-boosting though! I know what you mean, my boyfriend just moved his bed into his living room because his bedroom is not insulated enough and at the moment 35 degrees is a heat wave. I am so tired of wearing socks...

The colour combo in the last picture is great, & I have the same problem with lack of heating at my house too.

Maybe you froze in that, but you looked good doing it.

I loved your way of describing the weather/conditions/snow. Very evocative.

No snow here, just frigidness. Way too cold for my liking. I really love how those particular stripes look against the red tights and your lovely white shoes.
