I feel the faint stirrings of springtime here in the Pacific Northwest…warmer temps, sunnier days and longer daylight hours. After months of what seems like semi-hibernation in a swath of gray and darkness, it’s time once again to start thinking of shedding some of my “comfort clothing”.
I spend the whole winter wrapped in colorful cashmere sweaters, down vests, scarves, tall boots and the occasional Norwegian sweater. There is a certain amount of security for me in these clothes. Like my own little cocoon…no worries about having a tan (or lack thereof), shaved legs, or even a couple extra pounds!
Now here comes spring, and then summer…less clothing, more body. More warmth and sunshine, more grooming worries. There is always a trade off in life!
All the best,
Marilyn
