Spring

in the

Country


We live on a dead end private road. Four houses share this road and we are responsible for the upkeep. Winter took a heavy toll this year and the pot holes were threatening to swallow our cars.

Today we had a dump truck full of wet and very heavy fill delivered. Unfortunately, the dear sweet man that brought the fill had never dribbled fill from a truck. Result? A huge pile of the heaviest stuff imaginable right in front of our driveway.

Solution? Out came the lawn tractor with its cute little Rubbermaid trailer. We started to shovel this into the trailer. When the trailer was full, one of us drove and the other pushed this into the pot holes. Now to be very clear here, we are talking about 400 feet of road that we were working on. The entire road is about 1200 feet long.

After about two hours of this hard labor ,with no end in sight, what do I spy coming down the road? A Bobcat on steroids with a huge blade on the front. When the owner of the Rock Hound heard what had happened he drove over and in less than 30 minutes fixed the entire road.
