It’s Wear A Sweater Day
Today would have been Mr. Rogers’ 80th birthday.
To honor the gentle man who led so many of us as children to understand ourselves and our communities, March 20 is now Wear a Sweater Day.
In celebration of this event, Mr. McFeely (he of the Speedy Delivery service) has a special request:
“We’re asking everyone everywhere — from Pittsburgh to Paris — to wear their favorite sweater on that day,” he asks in his best speedy delivery voice. “It doesn’t have to have a zipper down the front like the one Mister Rogers wore on the program, it just has to be special to you.”
Wouldn’t you know that today it’s finally going to reach into the mid-60s here in Kansas where we’ve been shivering almost non-stop since early December? I’ll still be wearing my sweater, though. I was a big fan of Mr. Rogers as a kid, and both of my own children were, too.
Won’t you wear one, too?

We’re staying mid forties until it gets colder and we get 6 inches of snow overnight and into tomorrow…
Brrr…
I’m all cozy in my sweater.

Oh, man. Wish I could send you our sunny weather. As crazy as it sounds, I’d like one more BIG snow event before the weather warms up for good.
This time, though, I’d like it during the week so VH can get a day off work which would give ME a day off work, too.
Ah well, the forecast is now for up to 10! inches. It keeps increasing.
OTOH Hubby’s really happy. He was getting ready to clear the Siberian’s “leavings” on Saturday but the snow will cover them all up again and he’ll get a reprieve…

I suppose I should feel guilty for our sunny, 60° temps today but, well, I don’t.
That is a very nice thing for Family Communications Inc. to do. And hey, it SNOWED here last night, so I have a sweater on!

Y’all are sure getting your share of weird weather, aren’t you?
I’m wearing one of my favourites… and it’s got a zipper!

I’m wearing a button-up cardigan that’s not one of my favorites because I’m waiting for my favorite one to dry.
Sounds like a pretty cool holiday. Sort of like Hawaiian Shirt Day, but with a historical significance.
