Mud and dirty puddles of melting snow are a welcome ugliness in Spring. Surrounded as they are by the tender colors of a spring morning, the crisp bright green of emerging leave buds, the happy chatter of birds in the branches, the less picturesque details of spring become part of the bigger, prettier, picture. I will navigate this muddy lane happily through the coming weeks, as Spring comes back to the north country in the wake of the optimistic robins. Where-ever you are, whatever the condition of the roads, I wish you happy wanderings.
