That seems to be the three letter word for the month! And, I've decided this year...that ALL weather is needed...whether I like it or not....so, I'm going to leave the weather making decisions in God's hands...and just go with the flow :D (or would that be steady downpour..ha, ha...)
So, here's what the WET looks like through my eyes....Meet our Trixie...she is the Mr.'s girl...his first rope horse and definitely his baby!
And, this....well, this is my little green feed cart...I load it up with hay and take it out across the pen to feed all the horses....check out it's wheels.... totally covered in MUD!
And, this...well, this is the mud & muck I have to drive my little green cart through to take hay to the other horses....
Today, it is deep! As you can see...it totally covers the top of my muck boot! Too deep to try to drive my little green cart through....
So, I left my cart parked and took the hay flake by flake out to the other 4 horses! It was a few extra steps...but, at least I didn't get my little green cart stuck :D
Here's the view of our driveway from the road...and this...it's our very own Mud Puddle :D And, I have to say it makes me quite happy...why you ask???
Because when I get done feeding and my boots are totally covered in muck...I just head to the puddle and splash through it until my boots are clean :D So glad that I get to still play in mud puddles!!!
Even my kitties like leaving their footprints everywhere....the sight I see all over my front porch!
Even though it is very WET....I'm thankful...that I have the right equipment to get through it....thankful for a chance to splash in a puddle...and thankful that God is sending the moisture that the farmers (NOT THE CATTLE RANCHERS...because wetness and baby calves do not = a good thing :( ) really need!
I hope each of you can find ways to enjoy this WET season...maybe it'll be curling up inside with a good book, or trying to catch some great shots through the lens of your camera...or maybe it will even be putting on your rain gear and stomping through some puddles...whatever it may be....may you find warm moments filling your heart! Sweet blessings!

I LOVE that you still love to splash in mud puddles! {Insert big smile here.} We should go do that together, just for fun, one of these days. Of course, I will need to find some cute puddle-jumping boots first.... And maybe a cute umbrella, which Rachel used to call a tut-tut (as in "tut-tut, it looks like rain" from Pooh). You made me smile today, sweet lady. Much love to you!!
Oh I love to splash in puddles, too!
Happy day.. Happy day:)
I don't blame you for not really enjoying the water....but as you said...the farmers {like me} need it--though we are not in the same area! :) We will be in the same boat (ha ha) when all of our snow melts. Have a SWEET day. :)
It's funny how we can change our perspective on such simple things as a mud puttle when we look at it with the positive it brings.
Good post!
