one foot in a boot
one foot out
stuck tight in the mud
give a happy shout.

a rite of passage and sure sign of spring

run amok.
dirty damsels – 2022 mud run
(i’m the muddy one in the pink, or the 2nd from left if easier)
we ran, climbed, crawled, carried weight, went over, went under, stayed the course, used ropes, tripped,
slipped, offered hands, got stuck in mud, slid underwater, crab walked, balanced, fell down, finished as a team
all with my daughter, granddaughter, and group of friends
not afraid of the mud
certainly challenging, but so fun.

mud-soaked.
finding the mud was such a delight
starting out slow
checking how deep it was with a stick
walking, then running, then jumping, then splashing
only one ‘quicksand’ victim who we unstuck
boots dumped out after
filled with water dirt wood chips, rocks, sticks and unknown mushy things
ending with
a pair of mud-soaked socks
drying in the sun
and so much tired fun.

the world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful. – e.e. cummings
 
children and the young at heart
are encouraged to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty
in honor of International Mud Day.


a man is getting old when he walks around a puddle instead of through it. ~R.C. Ferguson
