a million miles of mulch



or at least that's how my body feels about all the work done on the flower beds this weekend. i was thankful when i ran outta mulch at about 5pm yesterday. i did get to menards for more, but by the time i got done, i was done for the day. but the pizza delivery man told me i had a great looking house, so i guess it works for now.

anyway, i do have some pretty tidy looking plants. mulching helps immensely to make them pop out. oh yeah, and pulling weeds doesn't hurt, either. i only had 2 snake sightings on sunday, but saturday i had about a half dozen. yikes! those snakes don't know how much they freak me out when i am freaking them out. luckily, we get along mostly.

anyway, i am glad to be almost almost almost caught up with the front yard duties for this summer, except for mowing and trimming. now i can concentrate on the garden, and the untamed wild that is the back yard!

back to monday, but at least i have a nice walk-around to take when it's break time :)

This is so lovely. Wow bob. I should have you come to my weed patch. It is quite over grown, and that I'm afraid will be the look I am going for this year. K~
