Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

I am wondering if we might be better building an Ark rather than a house. It will need to float well on mud as well as water.

The rain starts to get quite depressing after a while because everything turns to mud.

Looking on the bright side (hard to do day after day of MUD and WET and COLD):

• The rain here is snow in the ski area. 
• We don't have to live out in the rain like the animals (and we can escape the mud up to La Mongie which they cannot).
• We worry sometimes whether the spring might dry up if it is dry for too long.
• In the summer we will be complaining it is too hot.
• We had the chimneys taken off so the roof doesn't leak.
