                         Spring Out of Those Bulky Winter Clothes! 


Today, ahhh the first day of Spring! Maybe not quite yet for a good portion of the still cool (cold!) U.S. and Canada folks. But many of you will soon be shedding your bulky winter attire if you haven't already. 

That's right, no more parkas, scarves, ski pants, flannel shirts, stocking caps, sweaters. Don't even think about it (at least not yet, Union Suit Fans) but sooner or later, no more warm, fun to wear, humorous to see, comfortable to wear...Union Suits. But, you don't have to change out of your favorite long underwear for awhile anyway. 

Like snakes in the process of ecdysis,* these guys this spring unveil to the inevitable. You know, right down to their..... well, take a look for yourselves....

 


...it's off with their coats and scarfs and boots...


 

...and it's down and off with their britches.....




....next, off with fleece and sweaters....



 
....and finally off with their shirts....

  

 ... until these boys are down to their long red, union suit underwear!


.....ahhh, freedom.....



* ecdysis means the biological process of a snake shedding out of its outer layer or exoskeleton like taking off a well fitting sweater. Not just snakes, but union suit fans can do it too.

  4. I’m with you Rhode Island. Our temperature here today is 41 and I’ve been working in my garden getting it ready for the coming growing season. I’m definitely still wearing union suits 24/7 except for sleeping as I wear boxer shorts to bed. Ironically the last day of winter was nearly 80 degrees and that’s too warm for me to wear a union suit but I’ve been buttoned up every day since…….Buckeye Mike.
