Snowing in the parking lot
We got a half an inch of rain today. I noticed the rain had washed out part of the bridge as I drove over it on the way home this afternoon. After I got home, I changed my clothes, put on boots, gathered up a shovel and a wheelbarrow, walked the quarter mile back up to the bridge, and filled the hole before it grew larger. After I filled the hole in the bridge, I filled many of the larger holes in the road where it runs parallel to the ditch before it got dark.


The photo on the left shows a long puddle in the road reflecting the sunset. The photo on the right shows a long puddle filled with dirt, and the water splashed to the side, reflecting the dusk.

The work is never done, eh? Nice work on the puddle! Love the reflection from that gorgeous sky.
Especially when you own a road. Thanks, Dale.
For sure! Keeps ya from getting bored!
My old, arthritic body prefers boredom.
I do understand… maybe a little less strenuous, eh?
Spunk looks quite comfortable, but is also quite focused. Multi-tasking!
He’s a multitasking cat. Thanks, Bruce.
I am always in awe of what you do, Tim. I know what you mean about boredom. It’s never what we get though, is it? 🙂 That sky is gorgeous, and good old Spunk brought a smile.
Filling holes was not what I planned on doing from 4 to 5:30. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Thanks, Lavinia.
Nice job Timothy ! The cats also looked satified 🙂
Spunk was taking a break. Thanks, Rudi.
You need a tractor with a scoop or a plow blade.
A tractor would help, but I don’t want a tractor. Thanks, Dazing.
Hurray for a bit of rain! I wish you were in charge of filling our holes. The ones in Blackburn, Lancashire, are not as bad as The Beatles would have it, but the ones on the Yazoo clay of Jackson, MS, are another matter.
Thanks, Susan. I can imagine you have some holy holes in Jackson. Maybe the The Hillbilly Moon Explosion can help you with those holes. They’re going to Jackson: https://youtu.be/_HM_gPFsDpc?si=KOe986Nx2GMJFqkt
“Spunk meditating on magic dirt clods while grooving on a beanbag” – happy, happy, happy.
All things come to those who wait……. And who have their lense ready.
True. Thanks, Shey.
I see what you’re doing: you’re co-creating with the painter and Spunk is well aware of that! 😉
Ha! I wish! Thanks, Marina.
That a lot of ditch filling (can’t really say digging here). Were those dirt bits catnip infused?
It is filling like a dirt dentist. Thanks, Brad.
Goodonya for your amazing community deed; you’re better than most. Your grand reward is beanbag cat ^_^, enjoy – I know I do!
A deed indeed. Spunk was aspiring to amounting to a hill of beans on that bag. Thanks, Craig.
What a Good Deed you did Tim in filling up those holes… I feel for bikers especially with potholes..
Here in England our main roads all over are full of pot holes… We past a car the other day whose wheel dropped into a deep one and damaged it. Waiting for a tow truck..
And love the photos of Spunk.. xxx 🙂
Thanks, Sue.
Spunk obviously leaves the heavy lifting to you, I think cats are a lot smarter than we are. No backachs for them.
Cats are smart about that. Thanks, Gigi.
True.
Hmm, I wouldn’t mind some beanbag grooving myself.
With a lava lamp or a black light. Thanks, Liz
Oh, of course! You’re welcome, Tim.
Your cats are soooo cute, and those sky photos are stunning! 💝🐱
Thanks, Samantha. The kitties are always cuting it up.
Spunk looks adorable ☺️
He was being cute. Thanks, Becky.
Got loads of potholes here, if you ‘ve got the time!
I think I’ll pass. Road maintenance is a problem all around the world. Thanks, Geoff.
wow, the pics are stunning and you’d never know what a mess and the work it took for you to do which wasn’t picture perfect I’m sure. Doesn’t phase spunk a bit. For the love of our cats😹❤️
Spunk is unphased. Thanks, Cindy.
truly❣️
Did spunk get any insights from his meditation..or is dirt simply dirt ha.
He was being pretty cloddy afterwards. Thanks, Brian.
Of course… magic dirt clods. What other kind of dirt would one find on a magic tree sanctuary.
Spunkie-Poo 💋 looks absolutely adorable on that bean bag. Does he live on it now? Lol!
Magic Beans, you know! Therefore, the dirt clods that get sorted out of the Magic Beans must be magic. Spunk gave up the magic bean bag ride for other jollies. He went looking for the Strawberry Alarm Clock and wanted to know it it was used to wake up Strawberry Fields. Thanks, Resa.
Who cares what games we choose…little to win, nothing to lose..GOT IT!
Incense and Peppermints.
You got it for Strawberry Alarm Clock. The magic bean bag ride was referencing Steppenwolf’s Magic Carpet Ride. I’m mixing too many groups.
Ahh, well mix’n’match! One gets good mileage that way.
Spunk is a groover!
He is a groovy kitty. Thanks, Julie.
