April is rainy season in central PA.
If you want to visit us,
I usually suggest that you don't come to see us in April.
April is dreary, damp, mucky, muddy.
Every year I think of changing our name
from Bee Haven Acres
to
Soggy Bottom Farm
for the month of April.
The springhouse beneath the old log cabin is overflowing,
feeding the already swollen pond.
The Littles, who don't seem to mind the rain,
are filthy and bedraggled.
The dry lot...not dry, but rather soupy.
The goats come out just long enough to eat, then
retreat to their dry houses.
Mud, mud everywhere!
Even Rod looks a little weary of this weather.
All of the chicken yards are a mucky mess.
The hens don't seem to mind, though.
Rainy days bring worms to the surface,
providing a smorgasbord of delectable treats.
Even Bobby seeks shelter in the gator
and prefers to catch a ride back to the barn....
Where Ella Bella has spent her day,
warm and cozy under her heat lamp.....
content to primp and preen.
How about you...is it mucky where you are???
Are you staying inside primping?
Or are you outside slogging through with you very own soggy bottom?
