Yes, we had the driveway sealcoated today.  Luckily it was the kind of day where keeping windows closed was easy to do.  However, I did have to go in and out a few times.  (well of course I did because it was all very inconvenient until the stuff dried enough to walk on)

We aren't too badly off, but there are a few tricky bits to get around if one wants to completely avoid the driveway. OTOH, our poor neighbor has to hike through the woods!  You can only live out here if you are able to get around fairly well!

I had to go out the back door and walk around the back of the garage, so I grabbed my camera to take a few pictures. 

The peonies have bloomed!  It's supposed to rain like mad the next few days, this may be only chance to grab shots. 



By the time I got out with the camera - the light was going and it was cloudy to boot - so I was surprised I was able to hand hold and not get severe blur.



Of course at the same time, the poppies are about done.  They last all of a week at most. However, even without the pedals, they are cool looking.



Now we've gotten to the driveway - you can see it's all nice and neat and clean and shiny! 



Of course one must be careful walking around the plants when skirting the sticky surface.  Long legs help get you around some of the plants without stepping on them.



As I was squeezing past one of the bushes, I found this thing.  YUK!  Not sure what it is, but I pulled it off and got rid of it. 



If you keep walking you come to this bit here.



Takes a bit of doing to work one's way around the end of the wall.  There isn't much room.



Then it's a straight shot down to the street, with a bit of dodging under some low hanging branches. 



My husband hacked out some low growth weeds over to the right and my little car is tucked away off the street for the night.  

We'll be able to drive on it tomorrow.  (after getting soaked in the rain going down to get the car in the morning)

Wait! There's also a rosebush update!   Just look at all the leaves! 



I haven't killed it yet!  Amazing.

And last of all - here is the first day lily poking its head out.  Soon there will be a plethora.



I tell ya, it's a thrill a minute here.  One needs to be able to ski, hike, rock climb, and be pollen resistant to live in this place.  I am not any of those things, but I have a camera.
