This is Dandy Weather ....to sit by the stove and toast your shins but it won’t last long. In a few days you will want to shed your warm footwear and put on spring footwear. You know how tender your feet are in the spring, how hard it is to break in a new pair of shoes. Get a pair of my soft Elk skins and you wont ieel the change.
