GOT MUD??

We have got so much mud that it is CRAZY! Our road is completely washed out from all the run off from the barn and arena. Every year we get new gravel put down and every year it goes missing during this time of year but it has never been this bad, other years we could still drive down the road with out four wheel drive but this year it's four wheel drive all the way! This is the driveway to the house that we can not drive up. The news paper lady wont even deliver the news paper because it's so bad
This is the road to the barn that is still kinda good to drive on without getting stuck

This is what we have to drive through to get to the house. If you cant tell there is a ditch there filled with mud and water.

And just look at my poor Yukon XL it's covered in mud. I'm thinking that I should just have it painted to look like mud splatter then it would never look so dirty. I'm not going to be able to wash the thing till like May!
That's just GROSS!

And as if the mud wasn't bad enough there was so much snow sitting on the barn that it caved in one side of the horse stall's. Shane happen to be out feeding when this happened. So now, not only do we have to redo our rode this summer we are going to have to build a new barn because this one is starting to fall apart.


And as you can see our white Prime Time Heifers are turning a lovely mud color.

So if you end up not see us for awhile then you'll know that we are just swimming in mud!

Hey, I hear that there is a man who has a cement mixer who lives across the street from you that LOVES to do cement projects...maybe he wouldn't mind letting you guys borrow the thing? Of course he comes with it, giving directions & all...hee! hee! Good luck!

So the cement mixer comment is so funny. The mud is bd. But I never knew about the barn! It really has been a crazy winter.

Starla- That's funny! I'd rather just buy a cement truck! It has gotten better though, the mud I mean.
