Shunned…

The dictionary defines Shun as: persistently avoid, ignore, or reject (someone or something) through antipathy or caution

I am afraid I have reached that point.  The point of no return.  The point where you decided in your mind that you have had enough of a situation and you decide to take ACTION.

I’m done…

These boots… are shunned…

Yes these Muckmaster boots have served me well… in fact - too well this year.  Keeping my feet warm and comfortable outside in the ‘freezing hiney’ cold for 2, 3 or 4 hours at a time.  Snow storm after snow storm after snow storm…

And these Jobber boots also from the Muck Boot Company… they are shunned too!

While out running errands they have provided sure footing on the slush, packed snow and ice… day after day after day…but I’ve had enough of them as well.

The various wool hats and gloves… shunned as well…

Yes, yes, yes I know – the warmth has been splendid – especially in the face of those single digit winds… I am however so over you too!

And so… un-ceremoniously I deposit you in the shoe bin…

…and I say to all of this ‘unending winter’ apparell –  it’s official… I’m done with you… dismissed, hidden away, shunned…

Just as soon as this (hopefully last) nor’easter goes by…
