Red Mittens

The snowfall yesterday had me bringing out the scarfs, boots and mittens and, of course, I thought of the red mittens my grandmother would knit every year for all the children in the extended family.  Here is an old, around 1953, picture of my brother and I modeling our snow suits and red mittens.  I colorized the image but it wasn't difficult to know the colors, it was always red mittens.  Although the snow changed to an icy rain there is still plenty on the ground. My dear friend Dotty made me a pair of red mittens many years ago as a Christmas gift and I cherish them.  Yes, red mittens bring back lots of memories.
