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 :heart: 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.
