HNT - Snow Season

Thu, 2008-01-31 04:26

So my current daily photo series has had a snow-related motif. Today’s HNT is far more prosaiac. Last Monday we had a snow-day here in town. The kids were already off for a one-day “change of semester” break but I missed a day of classes. I made up for lost time doing homework. (Notice my posts and comment replies are slow to non-existent? Homework for my classes, while wonderful and perfectly appropriate to this blog, are part of the reason.) Anyway, at one point my children and other kids from the neighborhood called me out to see their various handiworks in the snow so I grabbed my camera and headed out.

It’s been a while since I delivered newspapers in snow like this (I did it only because I knew someday I’d want to brag about it) I seem to be hardy enough that in a pinch (at this point it would have to be a big pinch) I could still do it. Anyway, on my way back into the house I thought I might document my half-nekkid toes for posterity. And this week’s HNT photo.

I seem also to have documented the raggled fringes of the old gardening pants I wear on snowy days, and to also have documented that it’s not easy to assume a dashingly half-nekkid stance while bent over upside down with a camera. :-)

Happy HNT (or Half-nekkid Thursday!)

BBBRRRRR! Love the shot but the thought of walking barefoot out in the snow makes me cold! HHNT

[It's not so much the being out in it that's cold. It's *staying* out in it to photograph snow forts and the like. :-) Thanks, Angel. And happy HNT to you too. --fl]

I'm cold just looking at this!

No point in wearing nice clothes on snowy days - I sure don't (in my pajama pants right now, will be in old ratty jeans after my shower).

HHNT!

[Yup, snow days are a great excuse not to dress up. Thanks, Bunny. And Happy HNT, of course. --fl]

Oh, you've got me beat on the snow pics! At least I wasn't barefoot!

[I'm just so glad you're still around, Biscuit. Frozen toes would be the least of it. Happy HNT to you too. --fl]

If I didn't dress up on snowy days I would spend half my time inappropriately dressed for work.

Coming out of a -30 C deep freeze here. I need to move.

[Minus 30's pretty chilly even for my toes. Even in bed with the heat on under the covers! Thanks, E. --fl]

That looks so-o-o cold. Happy HNT.

[Up to a point mind over matter works. The trick is not letting it get to that point. :-) Thanks, LR. And happy HNT. --fl]

As the song says, "You're so brave to expose all those popsicle toes."

I remember this one which still makes me shiver. I can cope with your feet in the snow much, much better :)
