Some Rainy Tuesday Shoes

It rained today (and apparently hailed, although I somehow missed that).  The hubby worked in SF today, so I was able to open all the windows and air out the house while listening to the rain.  He's always cold and I'm always hot, so I take these opportunities to keep the house at a temperature I enjoy.  Other than that, it was a pretty boring day:  Dragons and puppies got baths, dragon cage got cleaned, laundry was done, kitchen was cleaned, dog hair was vacuumed.  I know, glamorous, right?  

I know I've done rain boots before, but there are so many cute ones out there, and they're so appropriate for today.

Who could be gloomy with these on their feet?

Polka dots, plaid, and flowers, oh my!

Love these colors.  These make me think of a rainy, Fall day.

Wow.  These actually remind me of Yellow Submarine, but then I might be predisposed to think that way...

 

April showers bring May flowers! (we won't talk about the fact that we've had flowers here forever already)

 Turquoise and polka dots.  My kind of boots.

Bees!  That bee on the right looks kind of angry, though, you might want to keep your distance.

Scotty Dogs!

Whatever your weather, I hope you had a lovely day.

PS--Hey, Mom.  Your weather was warmer than ours today!

Doggies!

Today I made our Vicar choose the number.  A vicar is a seminary intern, and most often the title is used on the East Coast, but as our Senior Pastor went to seminary in Columbus, OH, we use the term, here.  I was also a vicar on internship, because I did mine in PA.  For 10 months no one really used my name, they just called me Vicah.   Which is what I now call our poor vicar, and consequently so does part of our congregation.  My apologies to the vicarrrr.  Anyhoo, the vicar chose 300, which gives us this in the shoe book:

 

 

On any other day I might get more excited about this.  It's historical, and the explanation says that waterproof boots were one of the first steps in emancipation for women.  Huh.  That's worth exploring.  But not today, because today the Handbags book has given me this:

 

 

Scottie dogs!  (and poodles, but it's the Scottie dogs I'm interested in).  I love Scottie dogs!  I had an adorable outfit as a kid that was green with black Scottie dogs wearing red bows (I think).  I'm not sure if I loved Scottie dogs as a kid and chose that material, or if my mom chose it, made the outfit, and THEN I loved them.  Regardless, I still have a soft spot in my heart for them.  Of course I went searching for shoes:

 

 

Normally I wouldn't show multiple colors of the exact same shoe, but I love these so very much that I had to show them all.  If you want more Scottie dog shoes you can go peruse at your leisure.  I'm pretty sure I  now need a pair of Scottie dog shoes.  Probably not this exact pair because most likely they are freaking expensive, but I am now on a mission!
