A
few days ago the kids discovered that the large mud puddles in our backyard that I wrote about earlier are good for more than simple squishing between the toes. We found them . . . jumping off of a small hill and into the puddle, practicing their “swimming,” digging, sculpting, and generally having a wonderful time. It’s one of those things that you just simply can’t get away with as an adult, but kinda’ wish you could.
I’m in love with mud,
It’s sad, I know, but true.
I just can’t help but splash in it,
Or stomp a path right through.
It’s sticky and it’s dirty,
And it covers all my clothes.
But when I see it lying there,
A voice inside me grows…
…You can’t resist, you know I’m right,
It’s fun to play in mud!
Look at it just sitting there,
I really think you should!
