At all other times it is socks, socks, socks, socks! I still can't believe you felt no pain when you ran through the thorny things and just soreness later on.

I liked the idea of going barefooted after reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn but it didn't last long, not with the sort of terrain we played on!simplenaturalhandmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289827537339621785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-26435411891329550912017-05-09T21:23:51.241+01:002017-05-09T21:23:51.241+01:00What a happy time for you.

As a young child in the Tennessee south, barefoot came May 1st and shoes were only worn when necessary. By September, my feet were hard as nails and I hated having to put shoes on to go to school. Now, sadly, RA has started affected my feet, particularly my toes, so no more outside barefooting. And very little in the house. I miss the feel of cool grass under my feet.

But when we are on holiday I take my shoes off on the beach. Not for walking but when we sit down for our picnic lunches. I love pushing my feet into the soft sand. That picture of devil thorns brings back memories but mostly of removing them from our dogs who would stand with the sore foot in the air until we removed the offending thorn. Ouch. Yes did lots of gardening over the weekend in the lovely sunshine but where has the sun gone today?

The greenhouse looks inviting for me, as it's been cold, damp & windy here of late. Moss seems very happy on the paving.

I must be honest I didn't see the appeal at all but my daughter loved it! They even did school cross country barefoot, dodging the cow pats �� XxClaire@homesweethome2015http://www.homesweethome2015.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-28034100549758794432017-05-08T12:27:09.153+01:002017-05-08T12:27:09.153+01:00Yes the lure of being bare footed in the garden is...Yes the lure of being bare footed in the garden is a great one for me! xWinters End Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924495691256051693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671225480721447118.post-18921597355901978062017-05-08T11:44:30.199+01:002017-05-08T11:44:30.199+01:00What a lovely post.
