Back in the mid-1800's it was common to dress little boys in a flour sack dress until they were potty trained. Outlaw Frank James & his wife Annie only had one child, a son named Robert. During the yrs they were hiding in TN & later in MD they dressed Robert & disguised him as a little girl. Robert grew up to be one strange dude. He was married twice, both of his wive's were named Mae, never had children & lived until 1955.Some things should never be shared.
Too damn funny!
A newbie here, and I'm not sure if this is the right place!
I'm looking for a sort of boot, not sure what to call them, not a classic Cowboy boot or Engineer Boot or English Riding boot... but a plain brown knee-high boot, ordinary rounded toe, ordinary low-ish heel, no straps or buckles or ornamentation. I think I've heard them called Campus boots? Anyway the challenge is that I wear US 14 (or if the shoes run small, 15). There's obviously a huge amount of boot knowledge here and I'm hoping somebody can steer me in the right direction. Thanks!
I've posted these before, but it's been awhile. Nocona bull hides, tough and gnarly.

Thanks BB!Enjoy seeing those, Dd. Some of the deepest grain seen on bullhide. Looks elephant like.
I carried on the tradition with my son. Today his first pair are still around. One of them sits in the kitchen window with a Opuntia "bunny ear" cactus growing in it.

The grain does look alike! My wife has a pair of Noconas identical to mine, but with shallow grain, compared to these.View attachment 149239
These Cowtown bullhides are fairly close to your hides.
That is cool, I remember people used to have baby shoes bronzed. I wonder if that is still done? I think the little boots look best original though.I carried on the tradition with my son.

I know what you mean. I have pine trees and cactus, not a good combination. I use long barbecue tongs to remove pine needles. My favorite cactus is an Easter Lily Cactus, that belonged to my mother. It is very old and the bloom display is spectacular. Sometimes producing about 40 large trumpet shaped flowers at a time, in a peach color.DD, I notice in your outdoor pics that you have a lot of cactus around. I have several outside including a cast iron cauldron full of prickly pair Opuntia. Always look forward to when they bloom; never look forward to cleaning out the weeds & leaves that blow into the cauldron. I have a long pair of medical tweezers for that!
In the house I like dwarf cactus like the soft bunny ear.

Are they cold weather hardy? Probably not. Take a pic next time it blooms.I know what you mean. I have pine trees and cactus, not a good combination. I use long barbecue tongs to remove pine needles.

Yes, cold hardy, they have been snowed on and winter temperatures here can get below freezing at night. Here is one of its displays, a couple others too.Are they cold weather hardy? Probably not. Take a pic next time it blooms.
I get so many cuttings started I don't know what to do with them.
Unbelievably beautiful!!Yes, cold hardy, they have been snowed on and winter temperatures here can get below freezing at night. Here is one of its displays, a couple others too.
