Good morning peevers.

Yes I know- posting later than usual, so the night owls out there are possibly wondering what happened to the thread.

I just wish I had a peeve.

I've been out and about as my photos will show.

I've been over to my favourite County, that of Dorset.

Boy did my car get filthy. The roads are pretty wet and mucky after some nasty weather.

In addition to that the animals are bringing muck into the house, and I keep trapesing in leaves.

With that in mind the POTD is;

Keeping things clean when outside is mucky.

(Photos will follow but I have a visitor to see to first).

Salt stains on my hardwood floors are the one that bugs me! When the roads have been salted that stuff gets in the treads of your shoes and gets tracked on my nice hardwood floors, leaving little white marks. grrrr!

The minute I walk in the front door I slip my shoes off and have paper towels ready to wipe off poodle-paws lol It's really a drag though when my landlord needs to come in to fix something because he never takes off his shoes and tracks stuff in.

You've been to my house!

Actually, this seems to be a year-around occurence here. In the summer, it's grass clippings or dirt from the woods. In fall, it's the leaves. In spring, the mud, and now, ice and snow.

As much as I would love to have a nice cream-colored carpet, I know it will never be.

Good morning. I know what you mean......The worked on the roads in my community by first laying down little black tar stones which layed there for 4 months before they finally put tar on the road.
My hubby went out the day they put the tar on the road and brought home tar tire marks on my driving and into the garage. I said what the heck is wrong with you bring the car in my nice clean garage.

We always have leaf cuttings, sticks, mud and snow in the fall and winter. Dang it. Hard to clean up every five minutes. All of us track it in....even though we have two mud wipers on the porch it gets in the grooves of the soles.

Loving the photo and the picture.

Sorry for the delay.

I finally got to stop off at a place where there is a fantastic view across miles of beautiful countryside.

I was armed with my normal camera and someone else's with a wide angle lens that I needed for later.

What did I find?

Mist- quite heavy mist. I couldn't alter that, so I had to make do with what I had;

Yeah, me too^
When the landlord had to come in recently and fix something, I was like "oh, no!" for that reason.
I always remove my shoes the moment I come in the door from outside, and have a towel on floor to absorb/contain the wet/dirty gunk.
