WW: Saturated

I just keep telling myself the rain is good for this year's hay crop!

  1. Oh dear. This is what I have to look forward to once the 38" of snow we have finally melts.

    1. Yeahhhhh. This was already fully saturated clay soil, then 6" of snow, then more rain. And plenty more in the forecast 🙄 oh well. At least I wasn't seriously planning to show any time soon! Lol

  2. And to think, I was afraid we got spring rain too early in the year and we'd hit the summer dry spell... that's how often it has rained! Well things will be back to soppy now with our 7 or 8 inches of snow.

    1. I hate to complain, because yesterday FB's "On This Day" had me complaining about how muddy it was in 2012 -- which ended up being a horrible drought year for us! But like.... I've had to swap boots three times already this week because the mud is so deep it comes over the top of my boots 🤷 so much precipitation!

    1. Every year I spend some time in a phase panicking because "it could never possibly dry up again!" but ya know, it always does. This too shall pass.

      (I hope)

    1. I mean, at least when it snows it's typically cold enough that the mud is frozen instead of sucking off my boots when I try to walk? 🤷😂

  5. I keep trying to come up with a positive spin for all the rain, but I just can't :( Our arena looks similar to this in SC!

    1. We actually had less than average precipitation this winter so all this rain is helping us catch up (which long term will be good for farmers, and me, since we work for our hay)..... But right now all I can do is be sad about the mire of quicksand that is basically our entire property. Blah 😒

    1. I mean... At least it's not ice? 😐 Mostly I just want to live somewhere where it's perpetually 70 and sunny, however unfeasible that might be 😂 ahhhh well. It'll dry out eventually. Or it will rain so much the earth floods and we'll die -- problem solved either way 😉

    1. I would be happy to share!! We're getting more today, so I'll think "go west" thoughts.

  8. Looks like my place, but I’m on sand. They better not put us on drought water restrictions this year!

    1. Timehop keeps reminding me the last time I complained this much about rain in March, we had a severe drought that summer 🙈
