Tonight I am going to a party on a horse farm in Westchester County, New York.

I get to wear a wonderful, 50's-style shirtwaist dress I bought years ago that finally fits again. And in my closet full of shoes, wouldn't you know that there was nothing to go with the dress that didn't have heels destined to sink into mud or worse. The other day I went on a shoe-seeking mission and finally found a pair of espadrilles on sale at the last of probably twenty places I went looking for appropriate flat-bottomed summery shoes. Who would have known that in early June, when the weather is only just getting warm enough to wear them, that sandals have been replaced on shoe store shelves with shoes for Autumn?

It's threatening to rain tonight. If so, I'll be dancing in the grass in my bare feet, given espadrilles proclivity to fall apart when wet (I know this from personal experience). What fun!
