I found these inexpensive rubber boots on sale at Sears. They’ll take me through the next couple of months until I switch to my hard-core snow boots (which are toasty and dry but not conveniently slip-on).
I got the boots just in time. There was a hard frost yesterday morning, and a cold, driving rain, and possibly snow is predicted for the remainder of the week.
Meanwhile, it appears that Garnet is no longer pulling out Jasper’s feathers.
Four Gems are laying.
I harvested the last of the kale from the vegetable garden.
Winter is on its way!
you always find the absolute most cutest boots!! you’re so lucky to have FOUR layers! i only have two, but they are steady and i am grateful :)
Adorable!
I thought Ruby was the feather picker, not Garnet.
You’re right! Both are Rhode Island Reds.
uuhhh…that would be “…on *its* way…” (retired editors never quit!)
Your write. :) Fixed.
