Here comes the sun....

Here comes the sun do do do do
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright.

Little darlin'
It's been a long, cold, lonely winter...


er... has it? Seemingly, no, it hasn't! What's with the 70ยบ weather in January?
Last I checked, it is still winter, isn't it?
I am beginning to think that we are switching hemispheres, after the cold, lonely summer we had last year, and now this...


We've gotten more than a few customers coming in, as a result, looking for warm weather clothing. Short sleeves, shorts, swimsuits... swimsuits? Okay, okay. Those looking for swimsuits in January are preparing for various trips to warmer climates over the upcoming Presidents' Week (otherwise known as Ski Week and for good reason). But more than a few customers have also started bringing in short sleeves, shorts and swimsuits for resale and, whereas, we have started transitioning into buying for Spring (ie lighter layers, Easter dresses, etc.) we are still hoping to see a bit of that cold, maybe not so lonely winter before the end of February. We still have a store full of long-sleeved shirts, long pants and jackets, not to mention ski gear for those last minute shoppers that find the snow-bib that bought last March on sale at REI actually doesn't fit their 5. y.o. that had a growth spirt just last week...
