Winter Sunrise

As I came downstairs this morning to fix Dorothy’s lunch and make us each our morning cup of tea, I noticed a bit of pinkness in the eastern sky. I grabbed my camera and went out to get a few pictures. It was fairly cool, about 20°F (-7°C) and I hadn’t stopped to put anything on over my t-shirt. That wasn’t as much of an issue as my feet.

While I was outside, I had a brilliant idea. What if someone were to knit something like a sweater only for your feet. You could have a simple tube, closed at one end and open on the other, that would fit over your feet and would help keep them warm when you go out to take pictures in the winter at 7:00 in the morning. Dorothy threw cold water on my idea (metaphorically speaking), saying she thought I should do a patent search before committing any money to my idea. She said that she thought our friend Nancy had already invented something very much like it. Oh, well. It was just a thought.
