A Slight Technical Difficulty

The dogs and I went walkabout this evening, but as Blogger is stubbornly refusing to upload my photos, I'll post them tomorrow afternoon.

We walked out to the back fence by the meadow, and interestingly, where at this time last year I was in danger of having water spill over the top of my (knee high) boots, this year it's only just ankle deep. The difference is that this winter the snow came before the ground froze, semi insulating it and leaving it porous, and the previous year the extreme cold came before the snow. We had much more snow this winter, and I was expecting to be wading in deep water.
