This weather is a slave driver! After work I stopped and bought weed killer, mulch, top soil, grass seed, and ground cover. I got gas in the Jeep and came home and got to work.
I had the last of my cheese and tortilla chips for lunch, then started with the top soil. I spread 5 bags in two spots; I raked the clumps and smoothed everything out. Then I spread the grass seed. I tied a string and put foil strips on it to keep the birds away (hopefully). Then I watered it very thoroughly.
Next I spread 3 bags of mulch. I thought I would need four but three was enough. So I’ll keep the extra one until I can get a few more and work on another area.
After that I weed whacked the entire yard, then blew everything clean. It all looks pretty nice. I’ll probably have to mow tomorrow or Saturday afternoon.
Once that was finished, I scrubbed the white fence and hosed it off. It doesn’t come totally clean anymore but it looks much better.
The baby birds are sticking their necks up further. I must say, I do NOT think they are at all cute!
I’ll save the ground cover and the weed killer for another day. I’m bushed but happy to have accomplished so much. When I was turning off the hose I dropped it and soaked my shirt. The breeze made me shiver so I hurried in and got a shower and changed. Now I will answer emails and balance my checkbook.
