changing seasons

Isn’t it great? Don’t you like it? Do you think there could be more wonderful than… mud season ?

Oh yeah! This is the season where everything is starting to thaw out… melt… and drip. With only a few days to spring, I can clearly see patches of grassy land amidst white frosting. With only a few more days of waiting, spring will be here and there is no stopping. And with only a few more chance of dealing with bitter coldness, the most awaited change of season will be here.

Oh yeah! It’s mud season. It’s the prelude to springtime where our driveway is transformed into puddles and tiny shallow ponds and miniature lakes of dirty and murky snow water and drippings.

Oh yeah! It’s mud season. The constant comings and goings of our cars leave over-lapping tire marks on the driveway making it a huge mud pit too good to be a mud wrestling arena.

And Oh yeah! It’s mud season. The scenario brings out the best in everything from muddy footwear to mud-spotted car interiors to mud-stained floors to chocolate mud pie cravings. The later being the most favored of all the scenarios.

Isn’t it great when the temperature started to go up and the sun smiling down on the snow covered grounds one minute and rain pouring down the next? Isn’t it wonderful when the grass started to show up again and the herd of deer is back from migration grazing on the fields? Isn’t it sweet when you just had your car washed… sparkling… and spic and span…. and as you pulled over the driveway… you needed to have it washed again the next day?

Yes, it’s mud season in Maine and we cannot have springtime without going through this phase… once and for all.
