This morning Maddie and I spent some time in the yard again cleaning up after the 2012 flooding of the back yard. Maddie loves being able to play outside, especially after being cooped up inside all week last week, and today decided that she had to help me clean up. When I swept, Maddie decided she needed to, so I started to collect bark to throw in the bin, but she decided that was a better job for her. One of the things we are going to do to minimise future damage from the rain, is to turf the centre of the driveway so bark and sand will stop running in and blocking the only way the water can escape. Clearing the bark away is what Maddie and I are working on this week, weather permitting and next week we might work on digging the ground out enough to bring in the turf. I am very hopeful that with this cooler weather the turf will be easier to maintain for the first two stressful weeks of keeping it alive.
