I spent part of the day trying to Do Something about the spot by our front door where a tremendous amount of water comes crashing down every time it rains. Grass can't grow there, and previous (admittedly feeble) attempts to toss a few stones in the general vicinity to take the brunt of the deluge have proven less than effective. So today I was hauling stones and bits of old broken concrete... then soil... then pavers and more stones... then getting down on my hands and knees in the red dirt. I'm only just starting, though. We'll have to make a few decisions about the final solution, but at least the ball is rolling, now.
