Scarves

I have a new found appreciation for warm scarves this year. It seems like I started wearing them earlier than normal, somedays I wear them ALL day, and I am still wearing them now in what is supposed to be spring?

I have a couple of favorites. One is silk with warm and muliticolored stripes. It seems to go with anything I throw on. The others are warmer like the rust and pinkish chenille that feels like a soft baby blanket about my face. I even took one up stairs to wear while I read at night.

There have been many days when I never took my scarf off all day...I wonder what our clients must think as I sit at my desk at work tapping away on my computer "muffed" up like an Eskimo. It started when our heat would be off in January as we arrived at work so it would take hours to get the office warm....then it just felt nice to not have the draft on my neck and shoulders. Rod says it is old age creeping upon me....that's why old ladies wore shawls?

The cold wet weather started earlier this year and is lasting much longer than usual..so I am still wearing scarves and just bought some more on winter clearance.

I have enjoyed my nice scarf collection, they have become something of a fashion statement now for me...something to look forward to next year when the chill returns. I will have new ones to pull out and tuck about my neck line, insulating me from that cold bite as I brave my way from the car into the warm coffee shop for a steaming cup of "winter courage".
