Or was it because I was on my hands and knees?
I was looking for arrow heads.
Here's comes Hubby to mess up my play house.
He has cut the spillway so we can drain the pond lower,
remove some trees and some silt,
and generally make a mess.
Wonderful moss will make wonderful mulch
and enrich the ground.
My feet got mucked and I fell down!
Got just a tad muddy.
I did get a bucket of snails for Four Two.
Jake, my middle grandchild,
named Marcy's koi
when he was learning to count, thus...
Four Two.
I found a deep hole and then fell forward.
Thanks goodness there was an island.
We had stick boat races as the pond was draining.
It was hard for anyone to win with Maggie's eye on the sticks.
We did some snake hunting.
Bev found one baby and the guys saw it's granddaddy.
Can't you tell Jake in wanting in there?
Luke looking tough
Very little work was done in the garden
Everyone was too busy supervising.
The perfect Mother's Day,
surrounded by family,
every one laughing,
and I got to get dirty,
One of my most favorite things to do.
Hubby made a big pot of Gelbvieh chili,
the perfect meal for a perfect day.

Now, that looks like a dream mother's day! Working the earth, family, laughter, and chili! Wahoo! I'm the same as you-love to play in the dirt and mud. We're kids at heart.
Oh my! That looked like fun- uh falling in the mud. You all looked like you had the best day. But, Gail my friend, you might be onto something-mud baths. People pay big bucks....
Seems like a great day. Leveled land is always a good gift! I spent mother's day gutting my sister's flooded house. I didn't even get to see my boy.
Lucky you!
Every thing but the snakes sound like so much fun. I am glad you had a fun, muddy Mother's Day.
Ah, a mud bath at the farm spa. Where do I sign up? Glad it was a happy MD!
Looks like you had a fun Mother's day. We finally got all our trees cleaned up around our pond about 2 weeks ago. This winter did create a lot of extra spring cleaning but ya might as well have fun doing it,huh???? Have a Blessed tomorrow.
I agree with Lori E - everything but the snakes! Yikes! Otherwise a good time was had by all!
Yep every thing but the snakes would make for a perfect Mother's Day! Glad you had a good one!!!!
holy moly what a dirty job! but it looks so fun.
Gail that looks like one very wonderful sunny Mom's Day! Family AND a tractor too :)
It sounds and looks like it was, indeed, the perfect Mother's Day.
Some people pay big bucks for a mud bath but not on 'the farm'. I looked like you really enjoyed yourself gettin' down and dirty!
God bless ya and have a marvelous day sweetie!!!
That's a lot more fun than I had on my Mother's Day. I think next year I'll have some mud too.
Indeed it looks like a fun way to spend Mother's Day. Much better than being stuck inside cooking your own dinner celebration. I loved all the pictures.
Looks like fun! A happy relaxing day! :)
