You would think that cleaning off one's driveway would not be a difficult job...not so. This driveway was caked with huge chunks of mud. I had to use a shovel to scrap some of it off and then sweep, sweep, and sweep some more. Now comes the fun part, trying to hose it off. The slope goes towards the middle of the driveway to a drain but the drain was packed with mud so we have to take the grates off and clean out the mud. After hours of spraying I finally had to have James come out and spray while I swept the excess water into the drain. The driveway looks great but the next time it rains the fun will start all over again. Mud is one of the things I don't like about living here, but I must say the good things usually far out weigh the bad.
I finished putting away all the canned goods we brought up. Our pantry looks beautiful, but there are still 3 big boxes sitting in the dining area with stuff in them waiting for someone to unload and put away.
We made a trip in to town to dump garbage, do a little shopping, get some lunch and gas for the trip home tomorrow. We got another BBQ chicken pizza at Pappa John's and we each had two pieces before we started our fast.
It was a nice day and we are both sad that the week is coming to an end. We are going back to Chandler tomorrow after Church.

Today we took our first Ranger ride of the season down what I call "Christmas Tree Trail."
It is so beautiful and refreshing especially when you think that it might hit 100 in the valley.
I have been working on cleaning all the mud off the driveway since I got here last week. It is a bigger job than I first anticipated. Once I swept and scraped the mud off I tried to spray the rest off but the hose we have is so bad I told James we had to get a new hose the next time we went into town.
We are loving our time here and almost feel like we are on vacation.
