regarding mud mud mud
my horse crazy daughter scolded me yesterday. she said why do i always bitch about the mud, but don't do anything about it.
well, first off all it costs money which isn't growing on the trees in the back yard
secondly, time and weather changes make it better and then i forget about it until the next time.
but after 19 years of horses on this small horsekeeping property, i realized and she pointed out...that we haven't done any serious erosion maintenance. In fact, all the mud scraping and erosion has dropped the ground level about a foot from where it used to be.
so the kid shamed me into making some phone calls. have a few estimates on digging out mud poo glop and laying down some inches of 5/8 inch rock, some inches of pea gravel, and maybe topping it off with some screenings.
so will keep the blog posted on what happens.

even so, if it doesn't stop raining soon, i am going to go insaner than i already am.
Not just horsing around either!
