Gullies

The big rain we had early last week carved some pretty deep gullies in the dirt road out back. There are drainage ditches on either side of the road, but they're not enough to carry the water that comes down in a heavy storm. So, as water does, it finds the steepest way down, loosening the gravel and deepening the gullies. Eventually the water finds one of several stream beds that lead down to the river.

The town will probably fill these in when spring rolls around.

Or warm trend continues. I finished trimming the wisteria yesterday and cut the grass on the strips between our hedges and the road. I also moved a small pile of firewood left over from last year to the main log pile on the north side. Little jobs, but they make a difference.
