Have You Ever Wondered...

...why we drive on parkways and park on driveways? I don't know, either, but we have one now. A driveway, that is. Not planning on owning any parkways. Darcy formed up the driveway and sidewalk to the back stairs yesterday. It was supposed to be a nice sunny day today. Perfect for pouring concrete. But the gray clouds showed up instead. Fortunately the rain held off enough for them to pour, anyway. They'll put some sugar on the wet concrete so that the top won't set. Then tomorrow they'll spray off the top exposing the aggrigate and leaving it looking like shiny rocks. Apparently there's some concrete out there that has metal that will rust and sharp rocks in it, and when you do this to that kind of concrete it isn't very nice looking or easy on the feet. But this isn't that stuff. We got the good stuff that'll look nice and be a little more gentle on the feet.
