THE MITTEN

Do you remember the story, "The Mitten" by Jan Brett, about a little boy who lost his mitten and all sorts, shapes and sizes of animals crawled into it?  I lost my mitten a few weeks back while I was out running and while I was pretty sure where I'd lost it, I never had the time during day light hours to go back and search . . .  this morning after the time change, however, it was light enough to look, but it wasn't where I thought it would be, full of all sorts of animals.  Some one had already found it and hung it up on a tree branch at the end of the trail.  And now I have my mitten!
