Rocky Top

No, we don't live in Tennessee, but there has been some discussion....or North Carolina....I like NC a lot.

However, we do live on top of a large hill with an even bigger one rising to the south behind us. 

Ever since I met the boss he has lamented that hill....which I quite understand. It was always a problem getting the milk truck in. He used to rise at 2 or 3 AM to come up and plow out on tanker day when we lived in town. Sometimes he had to plow over and over again all day just to keep things cleared out.

I got stuck in the house driveway many, many times, until we finally bought a 4-wheel drive. Not that I can't drive...it's just that steep.

However, on mornings like this, as I sit here listening to the wind and reading flood warnings from local authorities, I am glad of the hill.

I am worried about what sunup is going to show about that driveway though. We spent a buncha bucks putting down good surface last year, but we have had some terrible rain. The TOP (!!!!) has a big ditch through it this morning. The top never washes.

 I hate to think what the bottom looks like. We got some stone in yesterday to fix a hole up by the stove. It could be that some of that may have to be put down at the bottom of the drive instead. 

Anyhow, I have been grateful for the hill a number of times over the years and I still am this morning.

That is all.

Stay safe out there friends.

Update, the flooding around the region is horrific and ongoing. We are fine but there are a lot of places that aren't.
