Did I mention I wanted the rain to hold off ? Well it didn't. We had a good storm last night and of course the dirt outside the back door became very messy with a couple of muddy puddles just big enough for the dogs to enjoy !! Its going to take a long time to dry out now - this could really slow things down if it continues to rain every few days.

So its gumboots time for the humans (I just wish Taro and Bertie knew how to wipe their feet before they come back in the house). Oh well, the crappy carpet becomes a giant splash sheet I guess.
