Catch - up weekend


 The grass was getting pretty long, so I had to get the mower ready to go. I changed the oil, and while it was draining, we cleaned and painted the underside of the mower deck.
 It turned out Ok. It could have used another coat, but we ran out of paint.
The "we" part was some help from Allen. He came down with Sheri for our late March birthday celebration.
And first thing Monday morning, we got a gravel delivery. Another 28 tons added to the driveway. It had gotten quite soft over the winter. This should help. I still have a couple of small piles to spread where the truck couldn't get to.

Flood damage

The water has receded and the culverts are gone. So is most of the backfill that made up the bridge. Heather and I walked downstream about a mile and a half this morning and found one of the pipes and brought it back. The other could not be found. After we repair the fence, we will decide what to do.

Flooding

Today's extremely heavy rain produced quite a bit of flooding. I didn't expect it to take down the fence, though. I hope my culverts are still there. I won't know until the water goes down.
