Mud and Straw.

1-10-08 SHORT HILLS: Since the cold spell ended, it has been quite warm even reaching 66° a few days ago. The yard which had been frozen thawed giving us a taste of mud season. The mud required a trip to Agway in Morristown for severals bales of straw to top off the mud. The leaf mulch didn’t provide adequate cover for the mud. Spreading the straw kept me busy for an afternoon.
