In this bonus summer episode we take a break for the heat to remember winter and snow as we hear the harrowing (and hilarious) tale of a horse and sleigh, and a young girl and her bloomers.

Are you old enough to remember bloomers? Did you wear them? Did you like them? Should they make a comeback? (Not right now ... for winter weather of course.) We would love to hear what you think!
