mulch day

Uuuuugggghhhhh, I know it is late for posting but I have been super busy today and am just now getting to the computer.
So...have no expectations of a well written well thought out entry today. It is a do and be done type of day.

We had mulch delivered and set about to fill our beds.
Have you ever laid mulch?
Yeah, me neither.
It is a stinkin' lot of work!!!
My boys were helping and I certainly was not gonna let them out work me, so I started early and stayed late!

Someone is gonna have to haul me out of bed in the morning!
I took this shot before I started working. My son had laid the shovel on the tree and was taking a break to retie his shoes.


And I may have gotten distracted by my neighbors cat...before I got working.


But I did get to work soon, really I did. I was determined not just to be a photographer/supervisor today.

Though, I will admit I did heed progress quite a bit as I found interesting things to shoot.
Like this little orange bug hanging out on the azaleas.

Now, I know you can't tell he is orange, you will just have to trust me. He was! Orange and silver! I wouldn't make this up.

I also took the time to weed my herb garden, and boy oh boy did it need it.
I took before and after pictures, they were lame!
So you get a shot of my baby cilantro that got moved to a better location!

I hope he likes it there!

My husband spent the better part of the afternoon building a planter type box for part of our veggie garden. He calls this one the tomato box!!
I love tomatoes and am excited to get 'em in the ground and growing!!
I took quite a few pictures of him working...he growled at me a bit for that....so I took this one on the sly.
You know, of my rosemary!!!

He is such a hard working fellow, but I want to be respectful of him not wanting his picture all over the place!
I am now going to unfold my body from a sitting position, somehow make it down the stairs and fall into bed.
uuugggghhhh!
