In The Beginning

 I gathered

 separated

 cleaned

and dismantled with a plan.

Hubby found the perfect board in the barn behind our lumber stack.  It was a piece of Dad's old cattle salt trough.  I used a wire brush to remove the saw dust from years of exposure to salt while Hubby used his grinder to remove the brads on the old television legs.

The wood grain was beautiful.

A wire brush was used to clean all.  No paint but I can add that later if I want.  What is it?  I did all that just to have a place to throw my shoes when I come in muddy and dirty from outside.

I attached the old television legs for boot holders

The dirt stops here.

I just need to clean the footwear.

Boot Leggings

Twenty eight degrees with sunshine!

I've been in too long

so I walked

in boots and layers of clothing.

I walked in snow and running water.

I enjoyed the blue sky.

Although I wasn't barefoot I think I reconnected.

Shoes or Feet

for Poetry Jam

I got my boots
I got my sandals
I love bare feet
If I have ta ramble

I reconnect with nature
From all around
Draw power
When bare feet meet the ground

I don't understand it
I don't ask why
My soles smile
As I watch the sky

The power courses
From soles to head
Renews my soul
Leaving peaceful retread

Don't need high heel shoes
Or thousand dollar boots
I'm styling in the bare
Keeping in touch with my roots

Boots and Rocks

Footwear...

is as varied as my hats

My, oh, S**t, the valley's flooding boots

My Ariats going to build a tree stand with Hubby

Also known as my

"what the hell am I doing on the roof?" boots

My new boots testing the creek

My bare feet

after I gave up on these.

Socks and flip flops...I think it was winter

My long-lived boots with repairs

My retired boots

Extra new boots just in case

Fixing culvert boots

Snow boots.

My footwear varies job to job, not always appropriate for the job but they work as we continue to work At The Farm.

Boot And Pants...

Boots and pants in grass

Boot and pants in water

Boots and pants on sand

Boots and pants in plantain

Don't they look grand?

Boots and pants on tractor tire

That needed two people to change

Boots and pants with mutts on tractor

Playing in the rain

Boots and pants on corral gate

Boots and pants in mud today

Boots and pants preparing Sir Loin to go away

Boots and Pants through for the day.

Boots And Dogs...
