| The first load of asphalt-before he got stuck |

| Vince spreading the road |
In August we had "recycled" asphalt grindings delivered to make a road down the side of the property. It came from a construction company that broke up an old parking lot. Because it holds together more than gravel, it was a little more difficult to spread. That didn't stop the driver from getting stuck in the loose gravel on the hill after dumping it, though. Add him to the list of other deliveries that have gotten stuck on our farm. That was the point of the road. After the excitement of having the truck towed, and a few loaves of banana bread later as a peace offering, Vince was able to spread the road with the box scraper and the loader. It now reaches the greenhouse. What was exciting then is much more exciting now as the rain and slippery mud come- but not on this road! It is packed pretty tight now and what prompted this blog was seeing Vince's truck all the way down by the greenhouse. That wouldn't have happened at this time (or any time, really) last year.
