3 Ring Binder

Now that the snow has arrived--all too early for my liking--it's time to break out the winter hand protection. Black leather gloves have been my standard wear for the last 30 years or so with an occasional infusion of leopard or zebra print here and there. Recently, I found these really cool gloves that I wouldn't mind adding to my monochromatic collection. Don't say goodbye, say "ironic things" in "air quotes." (From  Kate Spade  via  SwissMiss )  Because there is conductive material woven into the fingertips of these gloves, you can use your electronic devices without freezing your phalanges off.

Because I always dream of having a White Christmas, I was glad there was a lovely little snow event last night which just slightly covered the ground making things pretty and white.  But when I woke up, I was surprised to find not only the roads and walkways still covered, but also the trees completely full of snow.  By 8:00 o'clock this morning, the sun was out and the Blue Skies rendered the normal shades of snowstorm gray a little more brilliant, giving my backyard the feeling of a Winter Wonderland. I tell you, the whole thing made me want to break out into a few Bing Crosby standards - all at the same time!
