Just for fun, I'm reposting this - enjoy!
Ah, the first day of Spring! -um...well, not exactly calendar Spring, but a hint of Spring is in the air. Around these parts Spring doesn't officially begin until sometime around mid-June. Until then, from the first thaw on, we have what is affectionately known as "Mud Season".

Monday: Sane people do not wash their vehicles during Mud Season. It is a hopeless waste of money, especially if you live on a backroad. Despite this fact, and because I won it with a free spin of the "Wheel of Prizes" at the local gas-n-groceries, I couldn't resist a trip through the hands-free car wash. The sun was shining, the Critters strapped in and pacified with junky convenience store snack food, and high-powered jets of soap suds spelled five minutes of peace, if not quiet for me - mesmerizing entertainment for them. Vantastic!
And by the time we got home:
Tuesday- after one more trip to town and back...
...and so forth...
-Wednesday-
...and so on....
-Thursday-
...and so on...
-Friday-
...and then on Saturday, of course, it began to rain.
On Sunday morning I looked out the window in hushed expectation...
