This is really the last pair of boots I’m getting for a while. The cowgirl rain boots are just too pretty to wear into the garden. Those are for days when it’s raining and I have to go to the grocery store. It so rarely rains around here that the next time it rains, I’m going somewhere just so I can wear them! But, I’m not wearing them into the garden.
The new cowgirl boots I bought Wednesday aren’t getting muddy so I can’t wear them into the garden, so I ordered myself a pair of plain every day rubber boots. I was so hoping they would come yesterday because Vince is off today. He seriously doesn’t care what I buy within reason but that doesn’t stop him from giving me a hard time and saying things like “How many pairs of boots are you going to buy?”
I figured they were coming yesterday and I figured UPS would bring them. The UPS guy came . . nope, didn’t bring my boots. I checked the tracking and it said “Out for Delivery” so I was ready when the mail lady called. I went down to the gate and met her and got a box of boots and my yarn winder!
When I opened the big plastic envelope that had the boots . . something didn’t look right.
Nothing looked right . . especially “Hawk” and size 12.5. I thought to myself . . ok . . maybe they just stuck them in some odd box so I opened the box.
Oh, definitely not my boots! Looks like Mr. Vince is buying himself some boots too! I went back and checked the tracking on my boots and it still said “Out for Delivery” . . by Fed Ex!
Just as we sat down to eat dinner, here comes the Fed Ex truck. Vince said “I wonder what I ordered!” I said “Boots! . . With pink horses on them” and hopped up to meet the Fed Ex lady.
Do you think he thought the pink horses were cute? I don’t now . . because all he said was “How many pairs of boots are you going to buy?”

When in Texas, it is a good idea to adopt the Boy Scout Motto at all times: Be prepared! You’ll be stepping out in style!

Well, being a native Texan, I have to say the rubber boots look a bit too hot for the summer. Are you sure???? However I do remember wearing gardening clogs and getting into some fire ants. There were scars all in a row right along the edge of the shoe that took over a year to go away. So gardening boots may be a fine idea! But poor sweaty feet.

I thought the same thing….I want a pair of the fancy rubberboots, but I’d be wearing them with shorts because they are so stinkin’ hot….and I’m in Western Oklahoma….
I have a pair of cheap generic pink plastic clogs that I bought t the farm store. They aren’t good for cleaning out the chicken house, but I’m not afraid to get them wet.
Janet says
The boots look cute, and I’m sure they will protect your tootsies. What I would love to see, and hear about, is your yarn winder!

LOL…you and Vince crack me up!
My hubster and I kid with each other all the time. He kiddingly tells me I need to get a job to keep up with all the buying I do (I retired a year ago), but if I ask him about something, he always says, “Honey, if you want it, get it”.
We’ve been married 43 1/2 years. I think I’ll keep him for another 43 1/2!

LOL!! I think there must be a “husband handbook” somewhere??? If anyone finds it let me know….and please share your copy !!!! I do the same thing. When my husband is just getting ready to leave, or for a couple of days after, I can order and things should get here while he is still gone…sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. The comments when the boxes come are very similiar…must be from the book?? ROFLOL

LOL< Love that he bought some new boots too! Don't think he'd fit in your cute Pink Horse boots. good thing , huh? We'll have to watch to see him model his in the next picture of him smiling in his green shirt… our doing his 'chores'. Just like "Mr Green Jeans"- Remember him?
Brandy M. says
Love it! It’s funny that Mr. Vince is stocking up on boots, too. Yay! 🙂
Brandy M. says
PS – I also meant to ask…. Do you make sure to “tap the boots out” before you put them on to make sure there are no creepy/stinging crawlers in them? I don’t mean to freak you out or anything, but….
Sharon says
Judy,
There are some cute ones at http://www.gardeners.com with chickens on them. You might need those too. LOL
Linda Steller says
LOL – when they save you from a cottonmouth bite, he’ll be glad you have them! I like the pink horses, Judy. Very stylish.
Penny says
Oh, Judy! They are very cute! Too cute to get dirty or even wet. I recommend that you purchase another pair!! LOL! Your blog is so much fun to follow! Thanks for sharing! Penny in So CA
