By the Market

We were by Saint Lawrence Market about two weekends ago, and it was so mild that people were lounging about on park benches reading and doing schoolwork.

Quite a contrast with this morning, as temps plunged below the freezing point for the first time this season. It was a - er, um - refreshing ride into the office...

Of course, I was scrambling around the house searching for cool-weather garb, and was mostly successful, except that I only found one shoe-cover. Just bought them last year, used them maybe 1/2 dozen times, and now I don't have a pair. I think it's more frustrating only finding one than it is finding neither. Now I have that orphan staring me in the face, a constant reminder that I used to have a functioning set of tootsie-warmers. Of course, I can never throw that useless single out, because what if the other one shows up to complete the pair?

Aaaargghhh!

Of course, you know the lost fellow will reappear - a week after I throw the other out...




But hey, it's Friday, and I'm not going to worry about that any more today. The weekend starts soon enough!

I'll close with new B&W conversion of a portrait of the latest member of the family, Cinza (aka: The Princess). She would want you to have a great weekend, too. Come to think of it, perhaps she knows where my missing shoe-cover is!
