Mud or Dust

My boot sliding in the mud during chores.

The mucky mud at the gate of a goat pen.

The saturated ground.

Walking to my chores.

Since living in Florida for over 17 years

I have learned a few things.

One is, that we have basically two seasons here.

The "Wet Season" and the "Dry Season".

The "wet" is during the summer,

(hurricane central)

and the "dry" is during the winter.

(when most people visit)

In my small farm life I made some assessments and changed the titles.

Around here I refer to the two seasons as "MUD or DUST".

That's how it is.

I am either working in the mud or in the dust.

And either way is fine by me.

That's what rubber boots were made for.

(that and fire ants and goat poop and snakes....)
