Cherries and Overalls

I know I promised you cherries and birds at the end of yesterday's post for today, but today's post needs to be in honor of my friend Niels and all of us who so proudly wear our overalls whenever and wherever we can. You know who you are. I laughed this morning, as I walked by my overalls. All three pairs are hanging on a hook between the kitchen and the piano room, sprinkled with black body suits, tops and t-shirts that I'm looking for every morning. I have my dressy pair, my hanging from the cliff and working in the garden pair, and my in between pair that I wear around the house and to the grocery store.  I'm particularly happy at the moment, because that last one is also my "skinny pair". They are back in my "overalls repertoire" because my friend Jean (who like my Mom-isn't crazy about my overalls) very graciously patched the behind for me so I could keep wearing them. My overalls don't live in the closet.  I hang them out there so everyone can see.  And besides, anyone who knows me and/or reads this blog, isn't surprised to see overalls all over the Chatette.  Wait till those overalls planters go up in the garden and hang from the loft of the barn! I am obviously a very "out there" overalls person.  What about you...are you "out there" or are you in the closet when it comes to your overalls? 

And by the way...aren't those some very RED and sweet looking cherries!

I leave you with Overalls Everywhere!  The middle shot is my "skinny overalls" hanging from the clothes line on the terrace.  If you look closely you can see the roof of the barn and the lavoir in the background.

I still have to figure out which ones are going to become planters...and do you believe it-Jean wants and overalls planter?

I think you're on to something...overalls as art! As I've been looking thru old photos and old home movies, I was surprised to see so many people in overalls. I guess it was kind of a hippie thing to do.
