Dirt Road?

[6 more eggs so that makes 9 so far]

Gee, two posts today!

One of the reasons I wanted to move

here was because this place was

on a dirt road.

I remember dirt roads when I was

a child and in the summer I loved

the feel of the hot silky dirt

between my toes when I went

walking to see the farm animals or just

to take a walk.

The main roads were paved, but I also remember crossing a covered wooden bridge near where we lived. I treasure all those memories. So, anyway, I wanted a dirt road but that was not to be.

Because neighbors got together and paved the road... 

That was good for them, but I decided I didn't want to put any money into building the road because they were not going to follow code and deed it to the county. I heard too many stories about people being sued by people who had accidents on their self paved road... blaming the paving. So, I still have a little bit of dirt/rock road and that means I need to rake the leaves. Good thing I like to do the raking thing.

In the top photo you can see

where the pavement stops and

the rock covered dirt road

begins. The neighbors really

did need the road in front

of their homes paved because

the level of dust raised by

cars was pretty bad.

But since we live at the end of

the road we didn't have that

problem. So, lucky me, I get

to enjoy my dirt road! 

I finished raking, took the photos, and by the time I got back to the house clouds had begun to move in and block the sun. Looks like the rain is going to show up after all. Well, I'm glad I got the raking finished in the front. The rain will wash off the rocks and it will look even better. Now the forecast is for more rain this week. Well, I think I will make a stew again tomorrow. This time I will take more photos!
