mud
lifts its ham-handed extremities
to paint tires and boots a slurpy brown

OK...ummm... to photograph this...YOU were standing in the mud?
I remember those days...I loved having a dirt driveway with a little ribbon of green grass down the center....until this time of year.
It's tar now.
It's that season again! So join me in a chorus from the Hippoptamus song...
"Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
And there let me wallow in glorious mud!"
Sunny :)
I like the way you revealed the whole 'story' in scenes!
Time for one of those coin car washes. Maybe, twice a day.
This is really beautiful.That young man is brave to face all that dirt with an adorable touch of gentleman.Lucky girl!
I think a gentleman is something difficult to find nowadays.
And...both are beautiful in these pictures!

Not only mud, but I bet it was slippery too!
:) lovely!
Wow! haven't seen mud like that in years. Enjoyed Sunny's poem.
I haven't seen mud like this since I lived in Payson. He's such a gentleman!
He doesn't have a cloak to spread before his lady's feet, but what a guy!!
Eek. I don't think I want to see your laundry room right now.
Sweet man.
Love your 'screenplay', but I'm not keen on mud...
Oh my, and look at all the people wearing light-colored pants! I think I'd play it safe and go brown for the next couple weeks. So happy for you that you're seeing the end of the snowy season, though! And whadda guy, whadda guy. She ought to "hang onto him."
Yup! It's coming up on that mud-lucious time of years around here too. It's mud season.
Oh, yuk! I do remember those days from my years in Minneesota!
I don't remember carrying anyone through the mud, though.
Re Ocala DP - those, my dear, are cows you see. Grazing on the plain. They belong to the ranch bought by the developer who built On Top of The World and who sold Del Webb/Pulte the land for Stone Creek.
This huge swath of land west of Ocala proper was a huge ranch for many years.
We are fearful that at some point in the future, the land upon which the cows now graze will be used to put up more houses.
Of course, we'll no doubt be dead by then...still...
Re - Cedar Key...the answer to your question is "yes." Methinks I took that photo just about a year ago...well, it may have been in April...
But it's 80 and sunny today so things will be popping up all over!
The slurpy brown in one part of April (April showers bring May flowers) that I don't like much but we don't have a dog now so I don't have to worry about muddy dog tracks in the house.
in Just-
spring
when the world is mud-
luscious the little lame baloonman
whistles far and wee
and eddyandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring
when the world is puddle-wonderful
the queer
old baloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing
from hop-scotch and jump-rope and
it's
spring
and
the
goat-footed
baloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

I see that the season is changing to that 5th one that I'm thankful we miss around here.
