rainy day (& garden) boots

i'm in the browsing market for some good boots. i love the idea of having something as outdoor use only. i raked leaves & watered flowers on saturday and my black flats had to dry on the porch all day. i could use flip flops but i'd rather keep my feets dry and then there's the whole risk of garden living bugs crawling on my toes. no thanks. i'd like some rubber boots. i love the low maintenance of hosing them off when you're done but no so much for the jadunk jadunk sound when you walk. so i'm looking for boots that aren't too clumsy, not too tall and minimal jadunking. please? thank you. veggie garden time is almost here! anyone happy with their rubber boots/garden shoes?

primary colors

my kitchen

i decided to redo my kitchen a month ago and i'm still getting ideas for it. i repainted the grassy green a calm cream color and am very happy with the change. (thanks lacey for the color!!!) i've begun a collection of nicknacks, that have so far cluttered up my countertops and sill, and soon plan on sweetening up my husband to build some shelves on the empty wall above the stove for display. husbands are such great tools for housewives to have :) maybe some apple cobbler will do the trick?

here's some of my clutter. the new paint color is to the left. i'm always on the look out for colorful pots for plants, fyi!

my sister got me these measuring cups last year and they became part of my inspiration for the kitchen.

i've also decided to start an herb garden. these are taking residence in a south facing window in the den, basil and sage respectively. i'd also like to get rosemary because lately i've been using it on everything!
