If April showers bring May flowers, what does the January rains bring. Slush, mud, muck and ice? Yes.
Our yard is a combination of all of the niceties of the January thaw. The temperature outside has been from 40 - 60 degrees for the past 3 days. It was like May yesterday. Now it is pouring rain out. One spot it is slushy, another is mucky mud. Under all of it is the dreaded ice patches. One would think it was April.
We can see the driveway again. I know it probably won’t last, but it is nice to have a break from all the snow on the ground. The piles of snow have shrunk down quite a bit too. I was hoping to go out today and dig up more carrots before it rained, but I guess I missed that opportunity. It is pouring out, and the winds are starting to howl. I guess I can wait for the next thaw to get the carrots. I was looking forward to some carrot soup.
