“I don’t think the mud around here is ever going to dry out!”
Good morning, Judy!
If there’s anything to be grateful about mud, is that you don’t have our type - clay, I won’t be able to grow a thing here without bringing in soil and making raised beds. And every time it rains and i walk around, i get taller with all the clay stuck to my shoes.
Hi CB!
Oh, my dear CB, I know all about clay! Lol the home we built in 1984 was on solid clay! Every year we dumped tons of peat moss into the garden, hoping to break down the clay, but alas, we should have opened a brick yard instead! It’s fairly clayie (not a word lol) at the farm, but not as bad.
Funny thing is, my two treasure pieces of art, that I have out on my coffee table, are from that very clay. When my kids were about 10 and 8 years old, they were playing around the big ditch, and each scooped out a large handful of clay. They shaped them into loons and dried them in the sun. I have these two loons lol. The kids did a wonderful job on them. I tied some of that straw looking twine around their necks (the loons, not the kids) and they look like very cool pieces of art! Wish I could put up pics, but can’t figure it out.
That is what the soil is like here too so I know exactly what you mean.
I sure hated it when the kids were growing up.
And could I get them to come into the house through the mud/laundry room and remove their shoes?
NOOOO!!!!
They tracked it through the kitchen.
