After a long rain, I take my new yellow rubber boots out for the muddy walk I had been waiting for, choosing the dirtiest road I could find after the storm. The ground is soft, wet, and messy, with deep puddles that suck my rain boots down to the ankle while every step gets heavier and harder to pull free. I keep jumping into the muddy puddles, splashing dirty water all over my calves, legs, and butt until my boots are flooded inside and I have to pull my bare feet out to pour the water away. Wet legs, stuck rubber boots, muddy puddle jumping, rain boot fetish, and dirty outdoor fun make this walk messier with every step.
