Rocking In My Flip Flops

Alway something interesting

to find on a walk

A rock outcropping covered in lichen

shapes and types

you may not have seen.

Grateful the flip flops are still able to rock

Keep your eyes on the trees cause you never know what's watching.

See the face?

Me and My Feet in October

My feet and I made friends with a tarantula.

 Found Beggar Lice seeds

Did a little fishing

 Got down and dirty in the mud

and washed my feet in cool spring water.

My days with my flip flops are growing shorter..

What Did Your Flip Flops Do Yesterday?

Mine rested on the creek bank as I crossed to plant seeds in the wild life garden.  I planted Kentucky Wonder beans, two kinds of pop corn, cantaloupe and a variety of other seeds.  We shall see what happens.

Rescued a catalpa tree from honey suckle and briers.

After...I think the tree may fare better now.

I enjoyed tiny wild flowers

and watched plums bloom against a beautiful sky.

My bare feet played as my eyes feasted on the new growth of spring.

My flip flops were happy.

Flip Flop Adventure In The Hundred Acre Plus Woods

It was a good day for an adventure.

A painted reptile on the ground

sent the terrapin (box turtle) on it's way

and this is what we found

Could it be Big Foot's track?

Was I on its trail?

I tried to follow closely

but lost him when I fell

We happened upon a dead fall tree

where something had scratched and dined

We thought it's time to leave the woods

And see what else we could find

Then we met the water snake

so glad we were on land

Gail left in a hurry

and we were kicking sand

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.

Flip Flop Saga Continues

as an almost silent movie.

Death by tractor?

A Flip Flop Adventure

I begged her, "Take the boots!"

She didn't listen as usual.

I was lost in the water cress.  

Thank goodness she rescued me before I floated to the sea!

I screamed, "Go back!" in my squeaky flip flop voice.

I was buried in quick sand!

The sand was up to her hairy knee.

I had to wait for her to dig me out.

She balanced one legged while holding her camera high.

FINALLY, I was saved from that catastrophe

to be dropped on the edge

when she thought she could jump the sand pit!

Lost again!

I'm not sure I'll survive the summer.

Will someone please tell her to wear boots next time?!

I am flattened with fright!

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.
