Country Life

Mud and muck really doesn’t scare me much.

Some people say I’m dirty hick. I guess in someways I am, I enjoy spending time in the wilderness, which means getting muddy. Mud and muck doesn’t scare me, is the stuff that mother earth is made out of, it’s the stuff that grows the plants and animals that I enjoy eating.

Sure, mud and certainly moisture can lead to blisters and can be uncomfortable when it crusts on your skin. But mud washes off. Dirt never hurt nobody. Muck can smell earthy, but it’s a very natural material especially on the farm but also in the wilderness. It’s not filled with toxic germs like some would say. Exposure to mud and muck is actually quite healthy.

Some people say, why don’t you just wash off the dust, the mud and the muck. I do, but it just accumulates over time, much too quickly. But I’m really not that concerned, it’s just nature.
