You know you are in 'mud season' in Maine when you see the employees sweeping aisles of dirt, dust and some still wet mud and they have an enormous parking lot surrounding their store. The first time I noticed I was leaving a dried mud trial in a store, I was mortified until I noticed it blended with everyone else's trails!

Are mud boots what we used to call galashes? Or barn boots? I thought times like this was everybody has to leave their shoes at the door when they come in.

Golloshes are just rubber outer shoes that fit around a pair of shoes. They're not really boots. We used to call them rubbers when i was a kid. Do they still make them? Then there were overshoes which were rubber boots that fit over your shoes and had 5-6 metal clips to fasten them. We wore them in teh winter to school.

when you go to see houses and you automatically take off your shoes so you don't track mud into the place.
