My toes are cold. This means fall has arrived. With apologies to my sister, who could do without the really hot days, I love summer. Any day where I can get up, put on my flip-flops and wear them until I put on pj's at night, is a perfect day in my mind. Red toe nails and sandals are a match made in heaven.
For the past few days, the sky has been glorious, the air crisp and clear and the temps reasonable enough to have the windows open, so there are many reasons to be happy. I have noticed. We had a wonderful family gathering Saturday and spent the afternoon being entertained by a darling almost-one year old. I loved every minute, even if my toes were getting colder as the day went on.
I'm trying not to let my cold toes get me down. I also know that in my sock drawer are several pairs of hand-knit socks. They almost make sock weather worth while. When my sister gave me my first pair of homemade socks, I was thrilled. Nothing is warmer and prettier but I never planned on making any. They looked like way too much work. Janie convinced me I could do it. Now I love knitting socks although I still stick to the easy ones. Turning a heal is a time-honored tradition among sock knitters. Just saying it makes you feel warmer.
So I will try to enjoy every day, warm or cold. I guess you can have red toe nails, even under beautiful socks. And sandal weather will always come again.
