Well... you know it's spring when the barnyard turns to goo...

It isn't officially spring time until you step into the barnyard and almost fall because of the slippery mud. It doesn't even have to be an almost... I've fallen down in that goo before! It was not a pleasant experiance. This is probably the earliest that the yard has defrosted and turned into a sea of mud. Thanks global warming... And as unhappy as we are because of the mud, the ducks are exstatic! They love the warm weather, the flowing water (and the puddles for that matter), and even the mud. Wherever you can see mud, you can see little duck footprints. The ground is literally covered by them! As soon as I take a picture of it I'll make sure to post it.
