Crochet Me Crazy

Ugh....we really need the rain but I hate the mess it brings me. We don't have a covered porch so when you step outside, you step out into the rain. With all the traipsing around we do outside, it's near impossible to keep the mud out. Mud is pretty much all we have when it rains...we don't really have grass to speak of so all that dusty ground turns to mud in the rain. Muddy boots have to be taken off inside so they don't get wet. Pets feet have to get wipes off before they come inside. And to top it off...it's stock show week! Alison spent hours grooming Princess up yesterday before the rain came. Princess looked like a Princess!

The idea is to do it everyday and she'll look great at the show...well, there goes that. This is what we had to deal with this morning....



If you know horses, you know they roll, so we now have mud caked horses. There was no way to brush the mud off. We rinsed her off and now she's in a stall drying. We're going to have to do it later on this evening after we get back from the orthodontist and hopefully Princess will be dry by then. Why do we ALWAYS have inclement weather the week of the stock show?? Murphy's Law, I guess...

Here is Alison with her show goat...
