This is our "driveway." On Monday morning, we had a mudslide on our road and I needed to get to work. Nephew had the tractor and Mike is trying to get a head start by shoveling some it.
Now after the thaw, we're returning to cold, snowy, blustery.
Tuesday Hi: 29 Lo: 20 Mostly cloudy; Snow showers tapering to flurries at night; Colder; NW wind 10-20 mph with gusts to 40 mph at night.

Goodness! When you said you all had nothing but mud you really meant it!!!
Oh man, jam with hot biscuits sounds great right now!
I had to keep the goats in the barn for a couple of days due to the mud (now beginning to freeze again), but was lucky to not have to shovel out of the drive! Wow!
I do better with critters sometimes too Joanna. Good to admit to it.
Take care.
I just returned from a trip to Orlando. 82 degrees on Sunday. Swims in the pool. Not to make you jealous or anything. :)

Oh my! That's some slide. Does it happen often?
We're headed for a cold snap. High of 19 on Friday. I hope we get some snow along with it, to cover up all this brown, dead stuff. Though, I did notice yesterday that one of my daylilies is poking it's head out of the ground. Silly thing.
Oh my, it's rained for a whole year? ;-). I love your videos. They completely crack me up. BTW, since you didn't send me your address for the Holiday Mail for Heroes prize, can I steal it off here so I can send your cards?
You were one the winners from my Holiday Mail for Heroes post. I posted the next day for everyone to email me, but you must have missed that one. I tried to find an email address for you, but couldn't. Sorry to be clogging your comments here... Will put your cards in the mail tomorrow :-D.
Hi Joanna,
The homemade jams looks delicious. That was so nice of Barbara to send those to you!
I know you will enjoy them.
We've had more rain than I can remember since we moved here 15 years ago. But our soil is sandy, we don't have much of the red Georgia clay here. So not a lot of mud.
I hope your weather turns warmer(and dryer) real soon.
Have a great day.

Yikes, what a mess! It's been the same here. Knee deep in mud with the bottom falling out of everything. It's colder now, and the ground is freezing solid again. Sounds like we will have a nasty spell later this week, with snow or ice. All I can say, most days I'm glad to leave the world of people behind and retreat to my critters. At least I understand them.

These photos remind me of our winters in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mud slides, roads would wash away and boulders fall on the roads. No fun at all. Be safe!
Yikes! From deep snow burying your driveway, to mud slides, and back to freezing temps and more snow....you all are getting slammed this winter!
What kind of work do you do, Joanna, where you get to meet up for stuffy board meetings and all? Sounds pretty fancy. No wonder you weren't out there shoveling the mud to help Mike.
What an awesome, hard-working thoughtful man he is.
What a generous blogger friend to sed you homemae jams. I made a couple batches of peach freezer jam last summer and it was time consuming and hard work. It was worth it, though. So yummy!
Hang in there and I hope you don't have any more mudslides or heavy snow either.

Hello Joanna, I hope you enjoy the jams. I love all the flavors. I love it on my dinner biscuits. I save my biscuits for last then it is like having desert. Mike was giving it his best to move the mud out of your way.
That is a lot of mud to have to clean up! Wow!!!
Jam looks yummy! Putting the bread in the toaster right now! lol
Critters love you unconditionally, are honest, never lie, loyal,don't steal, etc....
Yum - now I wish I had some biscuits to go with my dull, standard issue "no sugar added" jam!!!
No mud here - everything is still frozen; even the snow is frozen in mounds. I had cabin fever Monday and went out in 20 deg. weather with snow flurries to run errands. At least I COULD get out. I hope you gave Mike a really big, warm hug! Too bad you were on your way to work and couldn't pamper him for all his work.

Me Again, If I would have known that you were going to take a picture of the jams I would have fancied up the jars and mailed in a pretty box.....giggling
As Ruth said....love your accent....it's like chocolate!
