The ground has not dried in over three weeks, after having several feet of snow dumped on it.  Since we have those two crazy, hard-running dogs, we also have very little grass in the backyard.  We decided that we’d better get some grass seed and straw down in an effort to keep the mud off of the dogs’ feet.  It took three bales of straw to cover the yard, and we will be sneezing if we don’t neti!
