For once, I agree with Lucy and Patty. When I was a kid, the only thing more pleasant than running around in the grass in my bare feet until they turned a nice shade of green was splashing about in our kiddie pool or running through the sprinkler!
I rarely wore shoes in the summertime back in the 50’s growing up. The white clover is growing in our yard right now, and as I look at it out there, I remember how you had to look where you were going because of all the honey bees on the flowers. I don’t think I have seen a dozen honey bees in the yard in the last 5 years.
I used to love doing this at my house, but my neighbor lets their dog do business on my lawn and won’t clean it up. It seems that it is illegal to return it via throwing it into their yard too (while wearing latex gloves) or throwing it at my neighbor.
Atlas I’m stuck wearing shoes cause nothing I do will ever stop them and I’m not cruel enough to put poison laced steak out, its the not dogs fault his owner is a jerk.
During Spring, Summer, or Fall I rarely wear shoes and socks when I am walking around our property, and if I need to leave, I usually just wear a pair of clogs…
Grandma used to say we would all get sick and die from running around barefoot. Didn’t matter if it was 80 degrees in August, we were gonna catch cold and die.
Best not to walk barefoot. You can pick up hookworms that way; many poor southerners had that in Twain’s time. Of course, you can also step on a bee, wasp, or fireants, or broken glass, etc.

It feels good until you step on a bee.
