the mulching saga has ended

Well, I slept until 6am this morning...awakened by the announcement that Chloe pooped in the sun room. As I stumbled out of bed I stepped on a half eaten strawberry sticking out of a torn plastic baggie. Chloe evidently had been into the bag we took to the pool yesterday and a trash bag in the kitchen...trash was strewn everywhere. Not that my 10 extra minutes of sleep would have prevented the trash... but I was cursing the extra sleep as I cleaned the sun room mess.

So yesterday I finally finished mulching...another decision of the summer that seemed like a good idea but left me cursing myself---ordering 8 yards of mulch. Ordered the end of June, I finally got to the end of the massive pile yesterday. Who takes a whole month to mulch half an acre of property? Last summer I was running 12 miles around the lake, biking 50 miles on a Sunday morning and completing my first triathlons. This summer I am celebrating tackling a pile of mulch and getting over my fourth bout of poison ivy. Pitiful.
