Unfortunately, the mulch pile in my yard isn’t going anywhere. I ordered it Friday, before I knew we were having company all weekend, and I did move a lot of it…but not all. A good-sized heap still sits in the side yard like a hill, or maybe more like a mountain, since it isn’t going anywhere. I’ve had good intentions for several days now, planning to move the mulch to the garden and spruce tree out back, but the rains of May haven’t cut me any slack. So the mulch just sits there and soaks up rain water, getting heavier and killing more grass every day, like some kind of awful creature.
On the other hand, the extra rain has made it possible for me to get some writing done in the evenings, which has helped my morale. So I guess I’ve found the silver lining to that pile of mulch. Though I’d still like to get it moved before it crushes the life out of every blade of grass underneath it. See you tomorrow.
