All because of mulch!
Front walkway with new mulch!I drove my pickup to the nursery and the sales lady told me that it would hold two "scoops" of mulch! Scooped by a Bobcat with a large bucket on the front. Yeah, it didn't hold two scoops, it held one scoop with part of it on the ground behind the truck! So the Bobcat operator said that I could come back and get the other scoop later.
So I hauled it home and about killed myself unloading the entire truck full of mulch with a pitchfork! I think my face turned a new shade of red doing it! Something along the lines of Pre-Stroke Magenta!
Just dump it out and go back for more!Once unloaded, I had to haul it back for the second load! Of course, I was too tired to unload it that day, it would have to wait til the next day.
This is the second load partially unloaded, 'cause I forgot to take the picture before I started! I had to raced to unload it all before picking up the in-laws at the airport!
After you unload it, you gotta spread it around! On your hands and knees!Eventually, I just backed the truck to the bed and started flinging out the mulch! I even resorted to shoving it out with my feet!
But isn't it pretty?? I may never move again!
So, I'm taking my gorilla arms, my Stud Muffin and heading to Almost Grown's graduation!! Back next week!!

The yard looks great!! All your hard work paid off!
OH, and my mother LOVED the produce bags. I gave them to her for Mother's Day and all she could talk about was going to the market on Wednesday to use them. "Everyone is going to ask where I got these", she said. :)
i wish you'd been able to take a picture of yourself kicking it out with your feet. that sounds fantastic.
Letitah~ That would have made a great photo, but I was too busy having a stroke trying to finish in time! I did think about snapping a picture of my mulch covered white legs and stained shoes!!
Your gorilla arms are well worth it....the beds look fabulous!
Have a great time at graduation!
Lisa,the flower/bush beds look great! I love shredded cedar mulch, it looks so lovely next to green plants. Hope you're having a great trip!
