As I ran a short errand yesterday I had a nice surprise coming home.
A grader man improving our road.
It always washes here so they are building the road up
and recutting drainage to divert the water.
Hopefully that will work.
Recutting the ditches and reshaping the road.
It's great.
I suppose not many people get as excited about red clay as I do.
When it dries it will be a nice firm road.

Would you send the graders our way please? Our farm road needs it! Your road looks good. I know what you mean about the red clay. Packs hard almost as good as concrete.
Love the pics we have gravel and it gets full of pot holes. I would love to have red clay. B
Red clay makes for great roads. We have plenty of red clay here, and it always ends up inside our home. The winds blows it in or we track it in on the bottom of our boots/shoes. Great country side pictures.
Small pleasures, rich red rewards!
Love the look of it so reddish orange and rich looking . We have paved roads here in our village but when I was on our hobby farm all there was , was gravel roads . Up farther from us there is a place called Clay hills and that's exactly what it is hills naturally made of just clay it is awesome as a kid we go play there all the time ! Have a good day !
That red clay looks good. It looks just like a tennis court only a lot more sturdy. I'm sure it's a joy to drive on. xox
They're supposed to do our road, too; but it will be some sort of pavement as we already have that. They've painted marks. Now we just wonder when they start.
Lucky you. Congratulations on your nice roadbed!
We have sand and gravel....not so great!
I bet it does 'pack' well!
Love the last pic especially. :o)
Have an enjoyable day sweetie...we've got a cold front a'comin'!
God bless ya :o)
here I was thinking that you got clay to do sculpting. I thought Wow, you are so talented. Red clay roads are just as nice though :)
they grade the back road here a lot, too. always washing out and rutting up. hope yours sets well!
Oh red clay...I know thee well! That's the stickiest ickiest stuff God ever made, but it will sure pack down to a good hard road if driven over enough.
back in the fifites we lived on a red clay road, and listen to this horror. they used to spread black oil on it to make it harder. i love the colors in the last pic
I do love a red clay road, and it looks like you've got one!
=)
Looks like that road will be very slick if it gets wet !!
How is Marcy doing these days ?
