SPRING FORWARD continued from 41
I love the first warm breezes of spring blowing up from the southwest. I love the flowers. I love that special freshness in the air. But, I hate mud. I live in the woods on a dirt road. I own a dog, a big dog. Mud is unavoidable.
Once I am off the porch, no matter where I walk or how carefully I watch where I step, I’ m in mud. This is not your average every day kinda mud, this is some kinda special, boot grabbing, sole-sucking mud. This is the kinda mud that shows up in Tarzan movies swallowing the bad guy.
I have this nightmare that I find myself seriously stuck, slowly being ingested by the malevolent mire. At first I panic, then surrender, and then at the last moment I remember my faithful canine companion and call out,“ Jaaaasper, Jaaaasper!” There he is, right behind me, stuck in the mud.
Even if I could get used to walking like I’ m carrying an extra 200 pounds while dragging an anchor— there is still the mess. If the dog isn’ t tracking it all over the porch and into the house, I am. I usually park the truck out by the barn. It’ s about 75 or 80 feet away from the house and by the time I get to the porch I literally have feet-of-clay.
It won’ t come off your boots outside. Only when you get in the house or inside the truck does it drop off and then it sticks like glue to most other surfaces, especially carpeting and upholstery. Its only saving grace is that it is Brown County mud. •
