Mulch Attack

Poor Steve is nursing a sore back tonight after working hard to complete our backyard mulch project.

This is a somewhat awkward area next to our deck.


We found some paving stones at Home Depot that we thought would make an interesting border to hold in mulch and create a barrier for the lawnmower. Steve then placed the pavers and turned under the straggly grass.


There was a ridiculously varied selection of mulch at Home Depot, but we settled on a black-dyed variety that we thought would look really striking in the yard.


End result:


Steve went through the same process of placing the pavers, clearing the weeds and mulching another awkward area next to our shed.




It occurs to me that all I ever post about anymore is the rabbits and the garden, but honestly, that's pretty much all we do these days. Although we did host Steve's oldest brother Edward and Edward's family for dinner on Thursday since they were camping in the area. We also had ice cream with them Friday night and hung out around the campfire at their campground afterward. Naturally, I forgot to take any pictures. I just don't have the photographer's instinct.
