Graveling

I have a little "road" from the big hilly pasture that goes right up into the barn. A few years ago when I bought this place, it was mostly gravel, but now it is almost all dirt and thus it erodes and slides down the hill, along with myself when it's muddy. Wheee! So on days I have to dress up and leave the house, it is a conundrum - get dressed in good clothes immediately after waking/showering? Which is my habit, but risks a plop in the mud on my backside. Or, get dressed once in the am with farm work clothes, then feed the critters, then get dressed AGAIN in my good clothes. Hmmm....

Or, the boyfriend offers his wallet, trailer, shovel and himself as a grunt to help turn the road back into gravel! What a sweetie!

The pasture road is VERY steep in the middle section. We couldn't even get the trailer up it without bottoming out and the truck spinning tires in the mud. So, we decided to just DO the steep section where I have the most chance of slipping when it's muddy.

shoveling gravel is HARD work!

Above is the view from the top after we did about half.

View from the bottom. Well, from the middle actually. It covers enough that walking down it is much faster now and MUCH less precarious! Yay! We will probably do the next section soon. Or not LOL
