mud season arriving, tuesday afternoon

a woman and her dog
what the porcupine did
maple sap from the injury above
it's coming
it IS
wuh-hoo!

although there is little mud here, there is plenty of punky snow and accumulated detritis. and yesterday morning i saw the porcupine falumphing out of the yard and into the woods. i didn't get a photo, though, because i also smelled skunk and wasn't sure where it was. never surprise or annoy a skunk.
