Gullywasher

This past week-end we had storms that brought torrential rains. While we were lucky, because parts of the state had hail and tornado warnings, the driveway took a hard hit. The material used for the driveway is not solid, and in heavy rain the finest, silt-like particles wash away. We hadn't had a problem since we lined the edges with gravel, until this past series of storms ~

The good news is that we still have an area of gravel to draw from ~

The bad news is that there is only so much I can put in a wheelbarrow and still be able to push it up the driveway ~

And that amount looks much larger in the wheelbarrow than on the ground ~

Which means I made lots of trips up the driveway yesterday. I meant to post these pictures last evening, but it was all I could do to take a hot bath and watch a movie. The reward came this morning when I saw the results ~

We need to do more work along the edges with larger rocks, but that can wait until this week-end when much-needed help will be on its way. Stay tuned....
