I will always think of your mud season and that my room will never have that much mud in it. I am still grateful to have the mud room, especially when my carpet is a cream color.

I told him not to stand in one place too long or he'd get stuck. He had to test me and stood in one place. He got stuck then hollered, "MUMMA!!"<BR/>It was pretty funny.<BR/>And last weekend we were working around the barn, moving cows around. Later we went to the local grocery store (very small). When we got there, I looked down at my husbands pants and boots.<BR/>I didn't think anything of it at home but he was covered in muck!!

The house we lived in was prefab and put there beacuse of the population boom of people moving to this tiny place to build a power plant. Anyway, we had a young black lab who loved to romp in it and you can't get it out of their webbed feet until it dries as pelts on the floor. Spent a lot of time trying to "clean up" the place (I was young and naive to think it would make a difference back then).<BR/>Also, love the lamb pictures.<BR/>Connie G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-68436798124280707252009-03-12T10:18:00.000-04:002009-03-12T10:18:00.000-04:00Yes, it brings back the memories.

We tried not to think about it as the cow swished her tail in your face, while we tried to scrub their udders clean to be milked.

My daughter is dealing with it on the horse farm right now (in Hoosick Falls) and I well remember the desire to get past that time of year and on to the lovely time of tulips, lilacs and warm breezes. Thanks for being real and for sharing farm life with people like me who yearn for it and get their "farm fix" reading you!bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529970144203605125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23619317.post-86643203827094237742009-03-12T07:42:00.000-04:002009-03-12T07:42:00.000-04:00Good morning!
