Country Roads and Rainy Days

There isn't anything quite like the delicious smell of soil on a rainy day. Our lovely snow melted very early this year, making front yards mud pits, and turning even the most peaceful of dirt roads into a treacherous wasteland (or a Land Rover's paradise, depending on your view). I admit, I rather enjoy slipping and sliding through the slosh, in my four-wheel-drive, on my way to work each day. Its rather exciting. 


Mud season really is a fifth season here in New England, it starts in March, and goes through to May. Wellies are essential at times like these, as even a jaunt to the grocery store can result in a muddy mess. I imagine this is what it is like in the English countryside all year round.
