Our gravel road has been hideous the past few months!! For anyone that has ever lived in the country, there's one word that describes it all - WASHBOARD!!
Even though we're less than a mile off the highway, that little stretch of road is a nightmare when the washboard is at its worst!! And believe me, it's been quite bad!! So when I pulled off the highway after work last night, a big smile crossed my face because I immediately knew that the maintainer had been out - the road was a real pleasure to drive on!!

Fire season is ALREADY upon us - that's right, our snowiest month is always March and we haven't had a lick of moisture yet!! We're STILL waiting for that 1 to 2 foot of snow that has just not happened this winter, making the entire state of Colorado a tinder box!!
There have been several fires around (thankfully nothing in our county yet) and with the high winds every day, putting these out is a real challenge! The humidity stands at about 3% - yes, that's DRY, DRY, DRY!! So we would sure welcome some snow or rain at this point!

I'm looking forward to the weekend - dinner out tonight, a baby shower tomorrow, and an afternoon of scrapbooking on Sunday - is it 5:00 yet????

I remember 'washboard!'. Not fun at all. Sounds like you have a great weekend planned. We will have to catch up next week.
I sure don't miss the washboards! Gary always says I drive WAY too fast over them - I just tell him I drove on roads like those for YEARS!! Sounds like a nice weekend planned!
