Today while working in the yard my mowing shoes finally wore out.

I am really not sure how long I have used these shoes while working in my yard, but it may be more than 10 years. I only wear them a couple times a month.

I really don’t care what they look like. I just let them get dirtier and dirtier.

I had finished mowing my backyard and had filled my yard waste bin with the tree limbs that I had cut down a couple weeks ago.

I then set to work on cleaning up my rose bushes. While trimming the rose bushes I ran across this praying mantis. I eventually had to shoo him away as I needed to cut off the rose he was perched on.

It was right after this that I noticed that my shoe was falling apart. I was walking across the driveway and thought that I had stepped on something.

Part of the sole of the shoe had come detached. I guess that I could glue it back in place.

However, I have plenty of other old shoes that I could turn into mowing shoes. I will just have to find the right ones that are easy to slip on and off and will look really cool when they get dirty.
