The snow is about gone-except for in the shade of structures...and plow piles. In it's place is WET! Around me porch/steps/entrance is too much mud between clumps of grass - and no walk to the drive, as the old one of concrete stepping stones was removed last year and not replaced. Today I came up with a new route for a walk and a way over the semi-permanent drain trench. I moved wet soil/mud here/there to level and such for stepping stones then made a bit of wooden bridge from scavenged lumber for over the trench. A bale of straw helped with the mud, but oh it hurt to pay retail-$6.
