I've been thinking about getting a new big pouffy coat for winter (aka walking sleeping bag) so we stopped at L.L. Bean so I could try a few on.
In my mind L.L. Bean is primarily the home of our beloved duck boots.
The L.L. Bean in our town has a giant duck boot out front so we made it pose for a foot shot with our boots.
Boots on. Coat. Hat. Gloves. Take off boots. Coat. Hat. Gloves. Step and repeat.
Winter.
When we were home my mom told me she saw on the news how LL Bean boots had become such a fashion hit that they were sold out and orders wouldn't be shipped until March. My family has worn LL Bean boots for years and my parents got both Aaron and I a new pair last year for Christmas. I am very happy for LL Bean. It couldn't have happened to a better brand. They are great boots and I love that they have been making them in the US for 100 years.
I hope I run into the LL Bean Bootmobile one of these days. It would be a nice addition to the other brandmobiles I have seen.
We are having a lot of rainy days. Since it's fall, they are chily rainy days. I love my rain boots but they are not warm. Thanks to a tip from Tina I got a pair of rain boot liners at Marshalls.
They just look like giant fleece socks but they make all the difference.
It's finally raining here and I am so glad. My lawn was dried to a crisp and every night I had a ritual of standing over my tomato plants with a hose. My newly placed rain barrel was empty.
I am especially excited because this past spring Aaron sent me pink Hunter Wellie rain boots. I got Aaron a pair ages ago and he loves them. They are so sturdy, I have put holes in 3 pairs of other brands while he still has the one pair.
Note that while I was trying to take a picture of our boots together someone came wandering into the photo.
And then another.
"Hey guys, what's going on over here?"
It is nearly impossible at my house to take a photo of something without someone with fur nosing their way into the shot. The are the quintisential photo hogs.
Finally, after shooing everyone away I got a shot of just the boots.
