Re: Re: CULT: weather, boots, & kitchens

The kind of boots is a factor when keeping mud off the floors for sure! But
then the design of the house is another factor, and I am thankful for the
design of my house in relation to foot traffic from the garden...We have two
outside entrances to the sunroom. One follows a walkway from the drive or
the workshop (which houses gardening supplies), and the other comes in
through a two car garage. There is a chair at the back of the garage on a
large piece of carpet-scrap, and there are two wooden arm chairs that flank
the doors just inside the sunroom. Either place is nice for taking off shoes
as do the Japanese. We can leave  them there and wear a cleaner pair
inside.. Another entrance we often use is the basement entrance and that is
another place dirty shoes may be left so as to keep down the time spent
vaccuming, or mopping the floors inside.  It is amazing how much more
enjoyable digging and raking are when  compared to vaccuming and mopping,
isn't it? Anyway these  entrances  lead to and from the  places we keep most
the materials that we might , as Linda says, forget to take to the garden
with us the first time!!! Really this design is terrific for us!
