Idly twiddling my toe in the dirt thinkin’ ‘bout bidding bare feet adieu Trading in my flip flops for everyday socks and shoe Before I know it the snow it will fly and my boots and I will dimple the driveway some coming cold day of freezing nose and toes But as for me and my feet bare feels oh so sweet in the shortening day when warm decided to stay LGR©9/15/11 |

Just spoke to a fellow in Denver, who says anywhere above 9,000' there'll be about 4-6' of snow... this weekend. It's coooommmmmmiiiiinnnnnggggg....  "The business of the poet...is to show the sorriness underlying the grandest things and the grandeur underlying the sorriest things." Thomas Hardy |

LOVE it, Lori - I know JUST what you mean and I love being barefoot or wearing slops (flip flops) which I do all summer, except if I am going to see a client - but sometimes, even then. Even in our mild South African winters especially in Durban (they don't feel that mild to me, though!), I wear boots most days, though many winter days are mild enough to wear slops. Owl |

Yes, I say go barefoot in the park before the cold weather predominates--let your feet run free! Good one Lori, Thanks for sharing, Al |

Cute, and a hating-to-see-winter coming it sounds like. One thing about it, you can't stop it, you can only run from it. I've heard that Hawaii is really nice and warm. ~~ "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent. It is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." --George Washington ~~ |

Actually today as was at the hospital and felt rather embarrassed to have to show them my feet, all dimpled and blotchy because of the poor circulation, but I knew them so it was okay. Jes gotta take care of myself, and them, so an infection doesn’t start, and all that, as I am mildely diabetic. Well Okay now I really DO haved to get off this computer and eat something! Thank you for thinking of me Lori! Hugs! |

Oh, I agree, nothing like walking barefoot ... especially on the sand or on the grass ... I hate socks and stockings, in mild winters I never wear them ... Very nice, dear Lori! Love, Margherita |

Wriggle those cutie toes in the sand and dirt as long as you can. Cure poem. Made me smile. Haven't been doing much of that lately. ~~ I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. ~~ |
