Life is like a series of boots for me...

Get a pair and a number of years later they become these yard boots and then they become no more.

It is sad for me when a pair of these boots is retired. 

They start off at various events, jobs, numerous projects around the house, concerts, life moments, really everything.

Then as if those weren't big enough... These same boots get demoted to Yard Boots where they walk many miles mowing the yard for family events, reunions, birthday parties for the kids, weddings, cookouts, camping, fires, chasing after the dogs, planting a garden or working in the garage... 

These boots maybe stained green, smell, fall apart, have holes, just look horrible... but these boots have seen somethings - miles, memories and just life.  I had to put this pair down after a long run.  Hopefully you have a good pair of these boots and are making memories in yours.
