Boots and Flowers



I know, I know, it's a strange post title but I have to tell you about these boots. When I was in early high school, my aunt passed me down a pair of her old boots. I LOVED those boots! They were as cowboy as they came, down to the riding heel and high tops. Definitely not girly! I wore these boots clear up until a couple of years ago when I started having kids. Children led to my feet growing and thus, I outgrew my favorite boots. A few years ago, I found a pair of similar boots and was so excited that I ordered them. They were too big. I couldn't bear to send them back so I put them under the bed in the then, spare bedroom and forgot about them. Fast forward to branding day of this year. I could not even think about wearing my worn out, too small present cowboy boots in misery for two full days of branding and running around. Then I remembered the "new" boots hiding under Dally's bed. Would they now fit after having two more kids and expanding my feet even more? YEP! Let me tell you, these are the most comfortable boots that I have worn since my hand-me-downs. They may not be the prettiest color or have the embellishments that are all the rage, but I absolutely, with all my heart LOVE them! I have spent a lot of the last two weeks on a horse and helping Earl and am definitely getting the use out of my new boots!

.....Now, on to the flowers. I had to take picture of my flowers this year. They look so pretty with my newly painted red door! The daffodils are spent but my tulips are lasting longer than usual.
