But now it is spring. And I am back at work. At least for now. There is nothing like mud season. One day it’s lovely and 65 and then the next its blizzarding and 10 below. Somehow and some where in-between there is a lot of mud. The lines get stuck in it and freeze the boot sink in it the trucks get stuck it gets all over everything! Yay mud season! This can stretch from Texas to Alaska. It’s all about timing. Last month it was Wyoming this month it’s north Dakota. The trailer I’m sitting in right now is slowly sinking in to the mud unevenly. Even the chairs are staring to slide of their own free will.
But after the blizzards and the wind to dry out the mud there are just a few days of almost perfect. The sun is out, the wind is pleasant, the ground firm. The sunsets are colorful hardly a cloud in the sky. If you breathe deep you can feel spring in your bones! That is what we have today.
