Footwear may sound like a trivial
thing, but it’s not. Boots are a fall favorite. There’s something almost
magical about packing up the flip-flops, sandals, and espadrilles and pulling
out the boots.
I even enjoy polishing my boots to
prepare them for several months of fall, winter, and early spring wearing. It’s
like a fall ritual for me. I dig out the saddle soap and leather conditioner
and go to it.
It almost makes the imminent onset of
colder weather bearable, if it means we can wear our favorite dress boots,
cowboy boots, jean boots, fleece boots, or other boot favorites about town
again. (I am something of a boot-aholic. I’ve scooped
up more than a couple of pairs of rockin’ boots for a song online. Some people collect
teacups or trinkets. You know.)
OK, sign me thankful again.
