Every Spring since 2010 when I first met John Wiley of Up the Lane Farm, I go to his blog and read his post entitled "Muddy Reflections." If you live out in the country, and especially if you are a transplant from the city, you will probably appreciate and find humor in his clever post.
Here is the link to the blog post:

Hope you are enjoying the thaw after this rough winter we had in 2014!
