Out to lunch

[magid]

• smells of horse (the mounted police were out today) and frying onions
  
• chowder is only on Fridays, alternating fish and corn (note to self: remember to go on Fridays)
  
• six ladies in red hats; I wonder what fun they were up to
  
• touching the small fuzzy buds (will they last the winter?) of a tree that was wrapped in strings of white lights
  
• I'm glad to have comfortable tights, but they keep trying to have greater acquaintance with my knees when I walk any distance
  
• it's warm out, a distinct contrast to the last couple of days
  
• faster to walk than wait for the T, and much nicer to be outside, even though I had to carry my coat
  
• Frog Pond as skating rink includes a low wall around the ice

I *heard* the horses from a 2nd floor conference room at One Winter St. Weird.

Wow.

I saw two mounties, and saw/smelled evidence of at least a couple more...

[ruthling.livejournal.com]

Was there an occasion? Just to get a jump on all the shoppers this time of year?

[magid.livejournal.com]

I didn't notice anything special going on, but I may have been too late/too early. And I hope the mounties weren't going to jump on all the shoppers...

Some days around now (and in mid-summer tourist season) you *need* a horse to move around. Wish they could put diapers on them, tho.

Ah, proof of a New England native

Uh...magid? It's 40 degrees. Only we cold-climate natives consider this "warm."

Ah, yes, a balmy 40. I figure it's warm if I take my coat off while walking. Right? *grin*

(Which means that this same weather 6 weeks ago was cold, but after the great freeze of the last couple of days, it's warm.)

I'm from Panamá, and I think it's warm out.

mmmmm

[cthulhia]

frying horses with the onions, or just onions?

mmmmm... horse...

Re: mmmmm

Well, not frying the horse I was smelling, anyway.

Um, that doesn't sound comfortable.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Well, they fit comfortably (read: without a fight to get them on), and they're fine unless I'm walking distances briskly. Which is the best I've had for tights in a long time.

well, it felt warm this morning when leaving the house, but it was downright cold late afternoon when i'd lost one of my mittens :(

Re: poor little bitty kitten

Poor little kitten. Have you found your mitten?
(or at least acquired alternate handgear?)

Re: poor little bitty kitten

[bitty.livejournal.com]

no :(


but i have driving gloves which while ugly and not-as-warm will still keep the chill off of my hands, and that's all i need for now. i can buy some more tonight.
(i have to wear children's gloves, so i'm fussy.)

Re: poor little bitty kitten

Children's gloves might make it harder to find warm ones, but the options for silly gloves... ooh!

Re: poor little bitty kitten

[bitty.livejournal.com]

i find them warm enough. my hands are tiny and fit inside my sleeves anyway :)

i really don't like bulky gloves, since i then can't move my fingers. i'd rather the children's gloves and pockets. i mean, i'm not playing in the snow or anything, so it's more protection than warmth. that's what cars are for!

Re: poor little bitty kitten

But there's always the possibility of a snowball fight, especially if a drive north or west is involved, and you wouldn't want to be inadequately armed ;-)

Some of the silly gloves must be with color, rather than bulk...
Hm....
