It's gotten so bad that my yard and my gravel drive "squish" about the same!
All the mud has taught our dog a new command, though. As soon as she comes in the back door, we tell her "Shower!" She goes straight into the shower and waits patiently while we rinse her feet and whatever other parts of her all-white body did a slide in the mud. She even lifts each foot individually ... like a horse for the farrier ... as soon as she feels the water stream. The funniest part is the deep "Again?" sigh she lets out as we work. Apparently she prefers the mud!

Though we are technically still stranded because we can't get a vehicle down the driveway and over the bridge yet, with pretty high boots and creative flood water slogging I was able to reach the mailbox late this afternoon.
Thankfully friends and neighbors who weren't nearly as flooded as us called and asked to see if we needed anything. Good thing I had just gotten 2 bags of chicken feed before the rains hit.

Fingers crossed we can get out Monday Morning.

Good Morning Virginia! I'm a new resident of Spotsylvania, and new to the whole chicken gig. I'm excited to get a flock going. Just found out we can have a rooster where we are, so the day is looking good.
