Life in the mountains
I’m not writing about hoodlums or neighborhoods, but clothing hoods As I layered up for our morning walk to the creek, I realized the three items I was wearing each had a hood attached. Many windbreakers have hoods, as do sweatshirts. Mine did, but so did my Christmas top. I should have asked John if I looked like a hunchback, wearing all those hoods.
We saw this scene as we went down the steep hill. Along with a blue sky, we saw clouds that were probably releasing snow on the mountaintop.

I love the snow on the mountaintops picture! I sometimes need to wear layers with hoods, so I flip up the hood as I layer and then flip them all down–keeps them from all being bunched up. Then you only look like you have a conehead with the cone at the back of the head instead of the top. 🙂

Would I rather be a conehead or a hunchback?? I’ll choose conehead. If I were a hunchback, I’d have osteoporosis.

Anne, you have me laughing. Hunchback sounds uncomfortable.
My long winter coat and shorter one both have padded hoods with faux fur trim. So a jumper without hood
is more comfy. 😊. Better to be warm in those climes though.

I love that green one! My heaviest coat doesn’t have a hood, so I am always grabbing a hooded sweatshirt to wear under it!

For being so rich in hoods, I very rarely put one over my head. They tend to slip forward and limit my view. I prefer a knit cap, because it stays in place.

That picture is gorgeous. I was talking to my sister on the phone and she was describing her view of the snow falling in the higher elevation of the mountain while it was not snowing where she was. I imagine it was similar.

I’m often cold so it’s not unusual for me to have a hoodie on over my sweatshirt inside. Most of my coats have hoods so I usually have at least 2 hoods on. I put the hoods up to layer over but I must look like Nanook of the North!

Only the top hood showed when we walked. He saw the three on the bed when I sent it to family and friends.

That mountain image is glorious! I’m not a hoodie girl unless it’s a jacket. Most pullover hoodies pull back at my neck and I feel like I’m being strangled. I bet John didn’t even notice. Those kinds of presentations seem to escape men! Ha ha!

John didn’t notice my hoods until I wrote the post about them. Only the outer one showed while we were walking.

I prefer a hat too. I have trouble looking out to the side with one hood much less three at a time.

We used to call them “Kangaroo Shirts” in Canada … I like how warm and toasty they are. I had to finally go to a heavier coat this last week as it was so cold and blustery. That’s an interesting sky.
