The Daily Totes for The Daily Preps.

"His" monogram was supposed to be Block.  They gave me Block Stack.  I kept it anyway.

Weary from all the storms and the cold, this is not the time for the teapot and strainer kind of restock.  No loose tea here.  More nuts and bolts, think builder's tea.

This time of year is ideal layering weather.  Here, Barbour over Bosie over turtleneck.

A Reader Question: Where do you store your wellies?

A reader question:

I’ve been a fan and follower since year one!  Thank you for keeping this going for all of these years.  It is a comfort being able to check into the site daily.  It’s my kind of scrolling since I don’t do social media.  I truly love SWNE!

My question is:

Gardening season has started where I live in northeast Florida.  For those of us that live in the South, or our people up North closer to June, where do you store your wellies?  We all know that direct sunlight and heat are the enemy of a good gardening boot.  Where do you keep them if you don’t have a good spot indoors?  Is a mudroom or garage out of direct sunlight with good airflow an acceptable option, in spite of persistent heat/humidity?

Thank you!

A Reader Question: Motif socks - a step too far?

 A reader question:

Hi Muffy,

I would like to ask the readership a question if I may.

My wife bought me some motif socks for Christmas (pheasants, ducks and foxes to match my interests). Being a bit reserved it is not something I would have normally considered wearing, but for obvious reasons I have felt compelled to do so and have come to like them worn with khakis.

Would other male readers wear them, or is it a step too far?

Kind regards
