REMEMBER THE SONG 14 TONS .... JUNE 07 2014 ...

Or some such song.  I have 14 yards of mulch - black just like coal.  Been working on the 14 yards of mulch.  Me and Bossman. 

We have quite a production line going.  He fills 11 LARGE buckets with Mulch, loads them on the gator and brings them to me.  Then he works on stuff.  He is a pretty good judge of just how long it takes me to spread 11 buckets of mulch. 

We are half way around now.  I must say it is really looking nice.  Lot of work, but looking nice. 

I do know one thing.  If we have any left over that rabbit hole is going to be filled with mulch.

Problem is, we never have any left over.  I remember the days at our other home, before we bought the farm back, that I could take the pick-up truck to Yensens, have it loaded, drive home and place the mulch in the flower beds. All in 1 day.  Just had normal flower beds then.

Then we moved.  9 years ago.  To the farm.  No landscaping had ever even been attempted.  Just steep banks covered with large stones, and weeds.  Random stones making a sort of uneven walk to the back patio and back door.  No walk to the front door, no steps at the front door, no in and out at the front door.  No porch.  No deck.  Just nothing. 

Bossman has been busy.  We now have a front deck, with partial roof, paver sidewalks, terraced landscaping replacing the steep banks, a fenced in dog yard easily accessible from our laundry room.  And 14 yards of mulch to lay.  Which is now delivered.

I think I know why there was no landscaping.  Talk about a lot of work.  Lots and lots of work. 

However the bucket brigade is working out just fine. 

I just hope we don't add any more flower beds.  If I have to order any more than 14 yards it will take 2 trucks to deliver it.

Enjoy your day and God Bless.
