Gumboot Garden

I don't think I have ever thrown out a pair of the boys gum boots.

They get passed from big boy, to middle boy, down to small boy.

Even when they get a split in the bottom, or the lining comes loose,

for some reason, they just stay in the shoe box on the verandah.

We have been busy preparing for a garage sale,

but I did not want the little boots sold, op shopped or tossed out.

Instead, during the holidays, I let the first born drill some holes in the bottom.

Then he filled them with some soil and compost

And planted some herbs and a few flowers.

So now we have a Boot Garden.

They make cute little plant pots,

there's still quite a few boots to be done,

he'll get to those another day.

See you tomorrow for Blogtoberfest
