mud, mud, mud
We had so much snow last week that now everything is mud. Mud everywhere. Everyone who works outside around here had rubber boots. That helps. We tore down a neighbors barn a couple months ago, and have a huge pile of wood siding from it that we intend to use for an addition. We were going to use it for new (old) hardwood flooring but then decided we would rather have a mudroom. Many old houses have mudrooms. In newer houses they sometimes have what they call a mudroom but it is not the real thing. The real thing keeps the mud from getting in the house. It is a room between the outside entrance, often a room off of a covered porch. Guess what goes in it. Mud boots!
