it's about time!

This will be my twelfth autumn and winter in the Pacific northwest.  As such, I thought it was about time I got myself some rain boots.   The kids all have them, of course.  But up to this point I've been slogging through soccer games, outings to the pumpkin patch, and various other squishy outings, doing my very best to keep my sneakers from being overwhelmed with mud.  

But now I have an infinitely better option for rainy, soggy days.

And it's a good thing, too...
