I love mud!
NOT!!! It's been raining every day for the last week which has made the back roads 'very muddy'** and slippy and filled with little potholes. Hence the current state of our van. (The picture really doesn't do it justice, it is FILTHY!)
Fortunately the sun is out today, and hopefully we'll get a little bit of sun now before the rain comes back. I'm stressing about my newly-planted flowers who now have more-than-sufficient moisture but are seriously lacking in sunshine!
** Has anyone ever heard 'Truck Got Stuck' by the Corb Lund Band??? It's got one line in it that goes 'for the first time in the collective memory that old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy,' and there's just something about the way they say 'very muddy' that cracks me up every time. You can see the video here (scroll down a bit to click on the video) - I know I'm almost the only one in my entire sphere of friends and family who (gasp) likes country music, but check it out, I love this song!

ooh, ooh!! I love the new blue look!! I have to admit that I don't listen to a lot of country music- but this song did crack me up!!! I really miss Alberta Prarie sometimes.......
What a great song - it makes me laugh too! Especially the part about the 'big ol' 4-by Hutterite truck' - "Mighty neighbourly . . . mighty neighbourly"
I'm a country fan - can't help it, and not too ashamed to admit it! ;)
