Mud…..

Now that the 5 million inches of snow that we have recieved this winter has finally started to melt, everywhere that is not sidewalk is a mushy, muddy mess. (Especially no fun in high heels )

The biggest casualty of this is my driveway.  As you can see in the picture above, my driveway consists of  “Runners”  aka paved tracks for the tires only, with grass between.  I think they are cute and fit with the overall look and style of an older home.  The concrete for mine is in bad shape and eventually needs to be re-paved.    I had planned to get the driveway re-paved as runners, however the snow of this season has caused me to rethink my plans. 

First, shoveling grass is not fun, because there is a tendency to remove some grass.  Second with all the melting the lawn is muddy/mushy and trying to drive on it if you don’t get your tires aligned to the runners  creates awesome tracks in the lawn.  Right now I have a 3 inch deep rut

So in order to avoid this in the future, I think I have decided to re-pave as a fully paved driveway………….. but that project is a ways down the list…. after Siding and Doors.
