Not on the Calendar

When you flip the pages of your calendar you will find the dates for the beginning of the seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.

However, other seasons, most much shorter, are important, though unofficial. One of these is soon to end — I hope. Mud season.

Travel during “mud season” was difficult in the mid-19th century. Roads were dirt-turned-to-mud. Farmyards and gardens remained in various textures of sloppy between frequent rain events.

One solution, brought from Europe, for working in farmyards, construction sites, and gardens was to wear wooden clogs. Step into them before you set to work. When finished, knock off the worst of clinging mud and leave the clogs on the back porch until the next use.
