Grown-up and Graveled

Woelk’s growing up?

We have Grown-up and graveled. Duh! For years we have acted surprised when Spring arrives. We curse the fact, that just when we need gravel, all roads have restrictions (spring thaw). Remember the mud last Spring? Our driveway was a mud bog for two weeks, we were unable to refill our propane, etc. It was virtually impossible to drive up to the house and unfortunately, it was just as difficult to navigate by foot. You really know things are bad when your boot stays stuck in the mud producing the frozen barefoot feeling we all love. Check out, “Spring Has Sprung“. gravel on driveway 01

Gravel

Toners Sand and Gravel delivered 5 loads of driveway gravel last week. Starting with the turnaround area getting a full load all its own. That is where the propane truck got stuck last year in deeper than knee-deep mud. Intense!

Pete’s second load of gravel done

Pete was home to show them where to put the loads. He used the tractor to smooth it all out on the driveway and now it looks really good.

Thinking Ahead

It feels good to be ahead of a problem instead of chasing it after the fact. In our 60’s, it really is about time for us to grow up, right? Good Job Woelk!
