And Then There Was Mud

MARCH IS HERE

!!!!

That means that Spring is on its way!  Hale-freaking-lujah!!!

We have been snow and ice bound for almost 3 months.  With the turn of the season was are finally starting to see the ground again.  It made it all the way up to 49* F yesterday and half of the snow in my yard is gone now...

... as is the ice on my driveway.

We have been driving and parking on 2-3" of solid ice all winter long.  Not a pretty sheet of ice, mind you.  An undulating hills-and-valleys kind of ice formed by car tires compressing all the snow.  The only bare patches were the spots the cars sit on.  So, when I backed into the driveway, I could tell I was in the correct spot when my car settled down into the depression formed in the ice.

Anyways, that ice is all but gone.

In its place is a puddly, boggy mess of gravel and mud.

Oh, hurray.

But, you know what?  I'LL TAKE IT!  I am just so thrilled to have the days above freezing!  In fact, I think I'm going to go for a run... OUTSIDE!  Ahhhhhhh.
