Rainy Season

Can you believe that this is the first pair of rain boots (wellies - awesome word!) I've owned despite living in the Pacific Northwest for the last sixteen years?

(I just FREAKED OUT when I realized that I've been here for 16 years!!!!  I'm like a real (pretend) adult - I've lived in ONE spot (well, region. I can console myself with that) for over a decade!!! I'm not sure what to do with this information except worry about my impending death because I might be A LOT OLDER than I think I am!!!)

 A tragic symbol of my age
(at least the polka dots are whimsical, right?)
