Snow Removal #FAIL

Yes it's almost April but every day I am, and probably will continue to be, reminded of the snow we had this winter.

You see The Mister tried to do the good-homeowner thing and spare our dying birch tree by knocking off the snow. The poor thing was struggling under the weight of the snow and bent so far over our driveway he was afraid the branches would snap.

So he took a broom and tossed it up into the tree to knock off the snow.

Then he tossed a rake.

Why? Because the broom never came back down.

Neither did the rake.

Let's play that fun game I used to love in the Highlights For Children , "Hidden Pictures ", where you look for a list of objects hidden in the image:

Can you find the rake and the broom?

ANSWER:

Yes, still there and they are about 30 feet off the ground...until next winter when a big snow storm might bring those branches back down to within reach.

Fashion Friday - Khombu Snow Boots Look Good and Keep You Warm

I was thrilled to find a pair of really cute and warm winter Khombu boots for Em at Marshalls the other day.

They look like this

 

They look really cute with jeans or a skirt and leggings, AND they keep her warm running around with her snowpants! They are fashionable and functional.

I decided to find some fashionable and functional snow boots for women and since I had success with Khombu for Em, I figured I'd start there. WOW!

How about these?

Khombu suede lace ups are way cute and waterproof!

These Khombu Women's suede and fabric lace up boots ride high to keep your legs warm and are waterproof so you can trudge through any snowbank with style!

Or how about these?

Winter boots like this don't have to be bulky

Khombu Women's Denver Waterproof Boots have a sleek look and cute side-buckle that would look great with a skirt or jeans.

And then there is my personal fave...

These Khombu boots will make you yearn for snow!

Khombu Women's Solar 2 Waterproof Boot   I love the height, and the cozy lining spilling out over the edges too. These would look fabulous in the ski lodge, no?

Why are all the boots I chose tall? Khombu has lots of cute short boots but as a mom of kids who walk to school, I like to have the extra coverage of a taller boot. I also have a longer coat! But that's another Fashion Friday post.

Stay warm and please share your favorite and fashionable winter wear!
