Mulch!

Long on our list of outdoor to-do projects was to replace the increasingly spotty mulch in the front yard.




Yesterday we rented the trusty Home Depot truck and went and got a yard of gorilla hair. Dana & I started early today about 8:30 clearing the old stuff out.




The kids sadly spent most of the beautiful late fall day inside, but we coaxed them out to help spread some of the new mulch.




And here's the final result:




We also blew out the leaves and pruned the bushes.

Oh and strung up the trusty Kirkland Christmas garland!





And I rearranged the garden shed to pack away the mower and summertime stuff, and put the sleds and shovels up front.
