Today was a gorgeous day! The kids were napping and I was outside working in the yard and garden. I usually wear an old pair of clogs when I'm in the garden because I'm usually going in and out of the house a lot and it's easy to slip out of them. Today I didn't put on socks, which I've done in the past. About 1/2 hour into my raking and digging my legs were feeling itchy and I thought it would be a good idea to slip on some (although tacky) socks. I raided Kevin's sock drawer and got a beat up pair of white socks. Let me tell you... I was a FASHION STATEMENT!!!

I continued to work outside then I ran across the street to get the mail. I intentionally wore my garden gloves because I didn't want a passer-by to think, "WHAT THE HECK IS THAT GIRL WEARING??!?!?" as they laid their eyes on my green capri pants white socks and brown clogs. I figured that if they saw the garden gloves they might understand and not mock me while driving by. (you think I'm kidding, but I put a good amount of thought in to this).

So I ran across the road and opened up the mailbox.

Inside there was a package! Yippee! I love packages! I love getting anything other than bills but packages make me super happy.

When I pulled out the box I really got excited. It was from a dear, dear friend Rachele who is far, far, far away doing awesome things in a country that must remain nameless... I RAN across the street, inside and tore open the package...

GARDEN SOCKS!! - Yes she made me Garden socks!

And they are so nice!!
