Polkadot Patch Baby Boutique: Great baby gifts and more

So today, December 21st is the official first day of winter, but here in Vermont we don’t have any snow and it’s actually nice outside! We are still wearing our coats and gloves, but with sunny, crisp days like this…it already has me thinking about spring. I actually enjoy the snow (but hate all clothing layers that is necessary) and I look forward to being out playing in the drifts with the kids. On days like this though…I actually won’t mind if winter just bypassed us and we went straight into spring.

Even though I wish it didn’t get so dark so early (especially today on the winter solstice), I do enjoy experiencing short winter days. It makes spring so much more enjoyable when the days do get longer.

 So while I do yearn for spring, today I want to celebrate the coming of winter. I think I’ll have a cup of cocoa and wear some wool socks!
