early saturday mornings

[kitten645]

What great posts! I do love Sat mornings too. There's a light rain outside and it's warm with my two boys purring away. I'm fixing to get on my Wellies and go to the farmers market for some fresh food from local farms. Life is good

A pair of Wellington boots



The Wellington boot, also known as a wellie, a topboot, a gumboot, or a rubber boot, is a type of boot based upon Hessian boots. It was worn and popularised by Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington and fashionable among the British aristocracy in the early 19th century.
Wellington boots are waterproof and are most often made from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) a halogenated polymer. They are usually worn when walking on wet or muddy ground, or to protect the wearer from heavy showers. They are generally just below knee-high.

I've had a few pairs like that ... bit I always called 'em my FIRE Boots!

A fireman that doesn't know what "wellies" are? Mine happen to be leopard print! I'm glad I bought them last year. Our farmers market is actually on a farm! As in dirt! It was worth it to have them if I only use them today! Had to trek thru some major mud to get my fresh eggies and butter. Yummo! I actually really like the rain (she says snuggled under a throw and two kitties and seasons 1-3 of Will and Grace on dvd )
