We have enjoyed a couple of days filled with sunshine and mild temperatures.
Well mid 40's is mild for February in our area.
The snow is almost all melted except for a few spots left in the ditches.
The landscape is covered in that dull, dead brown.
With a mix of black mud!
The farm truck is surrounded by it!
Lots of muddy tracks in the drive way.
Even the path to the chicken coop is a challenge.
I am running out of spots to tip toe on trying to stay out of the muck.
Now I know why the room coming in the back door is called the
mudroom!
A never ending job of scrubbing puppy prints!
I did manage to scrub some of the boots off today.
But as I took a walk around the yard yesterday,
I did find a little happiness mixed in with the mud.
The first signs of spring!
As a girl that has grown up in the mid west I have learned to just deal with the mud.
It comes every year!
And right before spring.
So maybe just maybe it could be a sign of spring.
Yep,
That is what I am choosing to believe!

Oh let's hope! The bulb coming up is a good sign! Sure would be nice to have an early spring this year.
ReplyDeleteWe are supposed to have 60's this weekend! Yippee!
DeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteI keep reminding myself everything time I step into a big mud hole!lol
Deletethings are greening up here, and I have a rhubarb up, so now we need to get some of the backyard replanted into big pots for the move to the peninsula. I am soooo looking forward to getting this next leg of the journey completed!
ReplyDeleteOh rhubarb coming up sounds so wonderful! Lots of fun things getting ready to happen for you!
DeleteYup . . .
ReplyDeleteMud is spring for sure . . .
Except . . . we are in a snowstorm . . .
Isn't that crazy we never got a flake! The pipeliner is working in northern Indiana they got over a foot!
DeleteWell of course mud is the first sign of spring! It's nice to see that even after all your snow there is that tiny sprout coming up already. I saw a robin today ... first one this spring for me! Nothing green in the mud gardens yet though (maybe tomorrow as it's warming up to 10C).
