It was windy and cooler today, maybe 60. We ran a bunch of errands in the morning. The first stop was to order 7.5 yds of rock for the driveway. We bought crushed limestone this time. Maybe it won't slip down like the river rock did. Then we picked up the mail and did a little grocery shopping. We were low on cat food so we stopped at Tomlinson's (Lucy loved it). The final stop was the park. Lucy did a big number of long retrieves.
We ate lunch when we got home. A little later the rock came. I got out the mower and cart and started moving rock. I filled up all of the ruts in the lower part of the driveway. The new rock seems to pack down better than the old stuff. Ellen came out to rake some of the rock. In two and a half hours I moved more than half of it. We got part of the upper driveway filled out also. I hope I have enough.
The mower made the job a lot faster and easier. I just loaded up the cart, hauled it down the driveway, and dumped it. At the bottom I didn't even have to rake it. I just drove the mower over the pile and the mower guard smoothed it out.
My back is giving me some pain tonight. I'd like to get the rest moved tomorrow if I can. The weather is supposed to be cool again. We'll see. If I hurt too much I'll probably put the lower together instead. The parts came today.
