Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 19, 2015

I remember when I was a kid in the summertime growing up in Louisiana. When the temperature was in the 90s, I could walk barefoot on the hot road asphalt. If I tried to do that now, I’m sure that my feet would be severely burned.

Stepped on a couple of bees, did he?

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Ticks

It’s tough when you realize that you been wearing shoes most of the time for so long, that your feet are tender. When I was a kid, I could walk across the hot asphalt street barefoot in 100 degree weather. Wouldn’t try that now, at least not without a month’s conditioning.

Can’t go bare foot under oak trees….

We’re putting a lot more weight on those dogs then when we were young.

in Texas he would have been crying and picking the “goat head” stickers out of his feet…….if you know what they are then you know the pleasure (aka) lots of pain.

I still go barefoot outdoors, and I’m almost 73. Just have to watch where the dog’s been. I also go barefoot indoors but that’s a lot easier.

Never liked the feel of grass on my bare feet

careful, Arlo…. those itchy balls are the worst

Remember, Jimmy’s from Alabama and he still has a home in Mississippi. If you look closely, you’ll see that the tree in the background has little balls hanging from it, so it is most likely a sweet gum tree. Sweet gum balls are like Legos to the power of ten.

What’s going on with her eyes? They look demented!

Tenderfoot….

So I guess he isn’t going to try hot coals.

As a kid I stepped on a thistle barefoot outside and got blood poisoning from it……….I lived.

When I was a kid I went bare foot all the time, I was in Hawaii (60-66) & we didn’t wear shoes at school back then.It’s a lot harder now…

It’s a good thing that pirate dog Louie was not out in that field.

Looks more like he’s tip-toeing through the tulips.

In Texas, he’d be doing the “Fire Ant shuffle”.

I don’t even go barefoot in the house. I have hard soled flip-flops by my bed at night for the few steps to the bathroom.

Here in Texas, I’m more afraid of the fire ants than anything else. And is it just me or has Janis turned into a real beotch lately?

Moccasins inside….

Geezum crow… If I was laying on a blanket outside in the springtime beside a lady like that, I wouldn’t be running through the warm grass barefooted.

The * above should be a +. Don’t feel like going through the hoops to correct it!.

When I was a kid, I thought I had super powers because I could run barefoot through an empty lot full of broken glass and bottle caps and never cut my feet. Took me years to realize all that debris had been hammered into the ground by a zillion other feet running over it.

I don’t like going barefoot even in the house I want something on my feet.

That made me lol
