Words in the Wild February 18, 2015 By Carole The L.L. Bean spring catalog came the other day. Does this make them hopeful? Or cruel? I guess the photo of it in the snowbank outside my back door says it all.
Kym says February 18, 2015 at 8:13 am The L.L.Bean catalog . . . where hope springs eternal. (Tease.)
Robby says February 18, 2015 at 8:17 am Since I live in a place where Spring means snow, I’m not sure I have an impartial answer. As long as they aren’t showing swimsuits just yet…..
margene says February 18, 2015 at 8:53 am The answer is if you opened the catalog and ordered something for summer. That’s hope. It not, they were cruel.
Dinah says February 18, 2015 at 8:56 am Pitchers and Catchers are reporting so it has to be on it’s way!
Donna says February 18, 2015 at 9:19 am The calendar says Spring is about a month away but reality tells us something else!
Bonny says February 18, 2015 at 9:24 am Surely L.L. Bean wouldn’t be cruel; they probably count themselves among the suffering hopeful.
Marilyn says February 18, 2015 at 12:16 pm I think it is both hopeful and cruel. Spring will come but for right now a picture like the one on the cover is just plain cruel!

They are marketing hope.

Like getting your first Christmas catalog in August!

A little bit of each!
