Firemen from our town came out yesterday morning to help put our road back together.
As you can see in the above picture, there's not much left of the road. Last I saw, there was some heavy scooping equipment down in the creek bed moving dirt and debris.
And there certainly was a lot of debris down there.
I woke up to a foggy morning and took some pictures, of which I found this one to be special.
I spent the day with my neighbor, Joyce, who spent some of her time baking carrot cakes for the firemen. We drove down to the road and gave them the cakes, which they appreciated a lot, it was clear to see.
Since they've already brought in their heavy equipment, I feel confident that the road will soon be fully repaired.
As for me, well, the gate you see is my gate. My road that went from my house to the gate, is pretty much intact closer to the house, but downhill, by the gate, it looks like this. Just one huge mud puddle.
Joyce told me that Mark, who helps me with my outdoor work, is good with roads. I was happy to hear that and, once the mud has dried up, I hope he can bring my road back.
This was an all together lovely day!
I'm grateful for wonderful neighbors and firemen.
