Yeah, some dirty dog littered my driveway. I have a fairly steep driveway that slopes on a curve downhill about 400 feet to connect with the main road between a pair of dry rock columns and a dry rock fence in front of the place which is pre civil war. It’s the wife’s pride and joy and she’ll take the leaf blower and blow all debris off it. Triple row of daffodils in front of the dry rock fence and a vintage cattle guard before you leave the property.
I’d noticed something on it a day or so ago on it but was always watching for traffic so I wasn’t looking closely as I was slowing down to cross the cattle guard at the same time.
Yesterday, I was making a leisurely run to town and took some time to examine what I’d noticed previously.
Yes, for sure my nice clean driveway had been desecrated by some vandal.
It wasn’t the neighborhood coyote.
It wasn’t the hillside full of robins that normally whitewash it this time of year.
It wasn’t the pair of grey foxes that den across the road in the river bank.
It wasn’t the red-tailed hawk that catches mice and then casually picks them apart and dines on the rock columns at the entrance.
It wasn’t the opossum that crosses under the culvert and leaves a muddy trail across the blacktop as he makes his nightly rounds.
It was a dastardly non bullet caster. I could tell that quickly.
I guess he figured he was littering my property but that’s all right.
Whoever the person was, he left me a clean lead clip-on wheel weight about 5 inches long right in the middle of the driveway and I'm thankful for it.
And I thank whoever it was for the gesture and welcome him back. It’s now residing in my pot awaiting the next melt.
May your vandalism be as lucky./beagle
