Mud Season

With all the snow we had this year, the mud season is really bad - and will probably get worse.  Our road is almost impossible to drive on.  If it were not for the 4WD truck we would never get around, and even the truck slips and slides around on our deeply rutted dirt roads.  Ah!  The "joys" of living in the boonies on unpaved roads!  The snow is beginning to melt, and we're supposed to get rain tomorrow, so the mud will probably get deeper.   We're all waiting for spring to come, even the cats are anxious for things to get normal again.  I guess we really shouldn't complain, though.  Lots of folks in this country are dealing with flooding.  We are still very blessed if the only thing we have to worry about is a little mud.  Here's what we're looking at for road conditions.
Totally filthy truck (but it gets us around)
Our parking spot (boots required!)
Driveway is a little rough
Six of our 12 farm cats, waiting for?? (spring? food? mice? warm temps and green grass?)
By the way, you all know that if you click on a photo, you can see it in larger format.  Right?

So much mud! Does this mean spring is coming soon?
