I got new chore boots!
Because I can’t go around farmin’ in these chore sandals in the winter. And who else is gonna do chores but me?

And I can’t go around farmin’ in these “dress” farmgirl boots, either. They’d get dirty! Then what would I wear to the store? Dirty–farm. Clean (sorta)–go to town.

Not that I bought these official chore boots. I’m not very official.

And they’re too expensive.
Nor did I buy these daisy chore boots. Even though I
them.

They’re too expensive. (Sigh!)
I bought these chore boots.

Fifteen dollars at Wal-Mart. But! They have pretty colors to choose from for the bottoms. I picked green.
They come in toddler sizes, too. Aren’t they cute? Almost makes me want a toddler. Except not really. Not that I don’t like toddlers, but I’ve already been there, done that, and I have a giant puppy, you know!

I brought my new chore boots home and showed them to Clover. She liked them, too! And– Oh! Yes!

She wants to do chores, too!!!!

Jayne’s Burrito Pie, as posted in the forum! We had this for dinner last night. I served it on a bed of lettuce with some cherry tomatoes and sour cream on the side. The only thing I did different from the recipe as posted in the forum was that instead of using refried beans, I used seasoned pinto beans. (I also didn’t use any black olives because we’re not big on those.) It was wonderful! Definitely a new favorite.
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
Make friends, ask questions, have fun!
Take Clover with you in 2010!

"First it's glowing, then it's snowing! A pause, then screaming squalls and williwaws. Bright but bitter, then a thaw. Yet again it's cold and storming: What ever happened to global warming?"
