Holy MULCH Batman!!

Mr. C had the idea that WE would mulch this weekend, oh joy!  So after a very tight squeeze through the gate by the dump truck and a narrow miss of the power lines, we were the proud parents of twenty yards of mulch.  Now I have never personally given birth but I suspect the pain is something comparable to the aches and pains I feel on day three of this project. 

Day 2 started out a little more hopeful because the pile didn't look quite as daunting but I petered out pretty quickly.  I am excellent in a supervisory capacity and I can mix a mean cup of ice water as well.

 Mulching 101: Just a few helpful tips to make your mulching experience more enjoyable(than mine)

Mulching Tip #1
Make sure your car is not in the carport before dump truck delivers mulch.  (This proved to be a problem until the end of day two when Mr. C finally shoveled enough of one side of the pile so we were able to get a car down the driveway. )
Mulching Tip #2
Check your gloves BEFORE you put them on for varmits that decided to take up residence during the night.  Learned that one the hard way.
Mulching Tip #3
Make sure your mulching partner has a harder work ethic than you so your task will get completed, take lots of bathroom breaks to kill time and offer your partner lots of water so it seems like you are doing something to help when in fact you are cooling off!

I hope you have a "no work" weekend!

Lovin' the small town grocery

Remember the days when the simple things made you happy? For instance, like having your own little shopping cart.  I wish I could enjoy grocery shopping as much as Hornet.  She must have a stash of coupons up her sleeve.  Enjoy your weekend!
