Spring = Mud.

It's that time of year. The snow is going away, leaving us with a thick layer of mud. The horses like the mud. They roll in it and get filthy. A couple of years ago Maddy was walking in the arena and lost one of her muck boots, the mud sucked it right off her foot. She looked pretty funny hopping around on one foot trying to pull her missing boot out of the mud. I finally had to rescue her.

Any other time of year, I have the clean car. Right Maddy? But, as you can clearly see in these pictures, I drive to the barn every day and dad doesn't. We drive on about 5 miles of unpaved roads to get to the barn. I wash the car and within 24 hours it looks just like this.

It's all worth it though. After all, isn't this what Landrovers are supposed to look like?

And my car is constantly dusty. Thick, redish brown, insipid dust. It's all about the daily barn run and my little SUV wears it proudly.

Of course driving at 90 miles an hour through the mud doesn't help.

Dad has a point! But my truck doesn't look much better than your Landrover and I don't drive that fast. What can I say, it's a farm truck.

[Shelly]

I don't drive that fast either! In fact, I drive slower than he does on those roads!

Well all of you drive slower than Jason! (He has finally found were audis can't go) :)
