March 20 Slice of Life Story Challenge: We Call This Mud Season

My Two Writing Teachers colleagues and I are hosting the 15th Annual March Slice of Life Story Challenge, in which teachers from around the world participate by posting a story per day.

Today it rained all day long.

Most of the snow in our yard has melted.

All the dirt roads are complete mud.

My daughter skipped ski team practice.

We watched movies all day.

I shopped for new plant pots.

I wore sweatpants all day.

I snuggled with my dog, who also did not want to go outside today.

It’s 35 degrees outside. It’s stay that way for the next month.

In Vermont, we don’t have spring.

We call this mud season.
