Slushy Boots!

Rainy Boots!

Students - yesterday I went for a walk with our dog Cali, just the two of us. I had my boots, she had her paws, and we both had a lovely time tromping through the water and slush. I got to wondering how I went for so many years without a proper pair of boots, and it was such fun to just slosh through it all. Beginning tomorrow, this will be the way of March: snow, slush, rain, snow, slush, rain. Beneath it all: tulips!
As I slurped down our road, I played with words, muttering "wet smash of slush" to myself over and over again. Life feeds writing, and writing feeds life.

Love, love, love your boots. Too cute! I usually wear a pair of ugly muck boots that are either black, brown or yellow. :)
ReplyDeleteThe poem is so sweet. Thank you for sharing your sloshy day with us.
Amy,
ReplyDeleteLike your poem...and your boots. This post reminds me how much I used to enjoy stomping around in slush when I was a kid.
Amy,
