I don't like to bore you all with yet another picture of the so-called pista, but this is the latest version. Surely it can't get any worse! It has slid in slices; first a crack appears, then a slice goes and each slice then exposes more soft damp soil, with no plants to hold it together and so another crack appears, another slice slides down and so on......
Another car tried to go down today, I only heard it coming up and we did wonder if by some magic the pista was repaired (the hole was still there at 8am today - I doubted it very much) but J went out to look and nothing had changed. It must have been someone out for a scenic drive in the sunshine. Bit of a shock coming across that! At least they were in a 4x4 in the daylight, unlike last weeks BMW driver in the dark.
Over the last few days we have working outside, repairing rain damage. We have steps cut into the ground down from the side garden to the bottom acequia which are now rather curvy due to the rain, J has re-dug them, put in concrete bloques filled with soil and stones and then I have planted anything ground cover-ish to stop the soil washing away next to them. Each time it rains heavily or snows something changes, and you realise what needs doing so next time there won't be a problem.
Pruning time soon for firewood stocks....if the lovely weather holds up! Blue skies and sunshine still, cold overnight but at least it's dry.
