Summer Project #2: Gravel for the driveway

Part of living on Whidbey Island is dealing with driveway issues.

I don't think many people have something called "driveway issues," but when you live in a rural area surrounded by Douglas Fir trees you have driveway issues.  Specifically, every few years the gravel gets buried underneath the debris that the Douglas Fir trees produce.  Cutting back on a number of these trees constituted Summer Project #1.  Trees are our special friends on Whidbey Island, but they also require a great deal of maintenance (and they also require patience as frequently they fall and knock out our power).

When I moved to Whidbey Island eight years ago (can it really be that long ago?) I had the driveway re-graveled.  Eight years later, much of it needed to be redone.  I guess it is an every seven-eight year thing.

So we had gravel brought in and spread. Looks so nice.  On to Summer Project #3!
