An appropriate title just isn't coming to mind...

My attention span is ZERO today...hence the new blog...

Shortly after we moved in Jillian and her mom (I think) planted 6 plants in our front bed. After a few weeks they grew and hence became extrememly weedy. We figured we needed to get some mulch to keep the weeds down and hopefully help with keeping them a little wet. (But in 115 degrees it's impossible to keep any moisture at all in the ground)

So, Jillians parents bought us a few bags of mulch, and I deemed it my responsibiltiy to weed and mulch the bed.

Tuesday after work I put on my nasty jeans and an old t-shirt and I weeded our little garden in probaby 110 degree weather! Most of our weeds had thorns on them, so my hands are filled with little baby microscopic thorns. The mulch reaked of ...I don't know... something fiercely nasty and the ground had lots of nails in it and really sharp rocks. But let me tell you ... I loved every single minute of it!

Here is the finished product. Of course we are going to get a few more bags of mulch to finish it up, but it looks a heck of a lot better than it did! And for those of you who know...don't judge me that it doesn't look very good. I didn't have Orville to help with the leveling of the mulch!!

(I did say there were 6 plants, and there are, just not in this picture. Also, the bed is alot bigger than it seems, there is probably 4 feet inbetween each plant.)
