I love socks. Not the plain white or black kind that grown-ups have to wear. No, I like the kind with designs or characters or something on them. That is why like my socks, I have a pair of dresser drawers to house them.

The socks are sorted into the big fuzzy socks for winter. With this goes the Halloween and Christmas socks.

And since we are approaching 90 degrees in February, I decided it was time to tuck my big winter socks away and prepare for our two weeks of spring.

Out came the Valentine’s Day socks (i found a couple more), the St. Patrick’s Day socks, and the red white and blue for all the summer holidays.

Of course there are some socks that stay out year round—The minions, the Disney characters, Nightmare before Christmas, and the zombie socks.

A girl has to  have some old standbys to make the transition easier.

And a girl also must go through the basket of mismatched socks to start pairing up the left sock that made it home and the one that got left behind. The sock basket collects for 6 months before it is sorted.

Those that find a match are returned to their owners. The others… Well, let’s avoid any unpleasantness and just say that the basket goes back empty.
