  • Ordinarily, the boots go into a holding pattern by March 15 and then into storage by April 15, but with this year’s relentless winter, it could be Mayday! Mayday!

  • June.

  • I put my winter boots away the same time I put my ski boots away for the season—in early March. With ski season behind me, I set my sights on springtime and all of its beauty.
