SUITING UP

"At this season Nature makes the most of every throb of life that can withstand her severity." 
~ John Buroughs ~

I'm rather a Nordic creature by nature and I love the cold, winter air. It feels like food to me and nurtures my soul- fresh on my face, awakening, invigorating, and stinging in just the right kind of way. But it requires the right clothing. There's not much worse than paltry jackets to face a stiff February breeze, but goose down and wool and scarves around the ears are just the thing. Cozy and supportive, they make it possible to enjoy whatever Mother Nature serves up.

I welcome the weather whatever it is, and make sure I dress accordingly.
