Occasionally you come across blog posts that stay, and tug at your heart, a sweet reminder of the diversity, and obvious joy that blogging brings to our lives.
Kim is a amazing blogger, who lives on a farm, with a camel, yes a camel, and scores of kids. She manages to refinish furniture, grind her own organic wheat, turn it into bread, and plant a enormous garden.
Oh, and she is one awesome photographer.
What she can do with one small, stray, colorful sock, is well... that’s the story that you can read here. More Stray Sock Monsters at the lake.
I won the choice of my very own sock monster, on her blog, and that is how Boots the sock monster travelled to my house to meet Bootsie the cat for the first time.
Boots the sock monster’s journey to a new home, and how he spends his last day with his friends before embarking on a journey to another country is a charming tale that Kim tells with words, and her photographs.
Take a few moments to read it on Kim’s blog, you are going to love it. She even gives instructions at the end on how to make your own sock monsters.
Boots is settling in fine here, he loves the garden, and he is having a wonderful time with Bootsie the cat.
He is blowing kisses to his friends, Dot the pig, and Rosie the rabbit. And still giggling over Rosie’s tattoo.

ReplyDeleteJen girl I will have to run over to Kim's blog after this giggle ! Boots is a beauty (maybe we should keep that between ourselves though ? .. egos can be highly inflated by such comments .. let alone Bootsie hearing ANY of it ?)
