I don’t think it would be possible to soak my heap of mulch any more thoroughly. Today, we had yet another series of all-out downpours…really furious cats-and-dogs master blaster cloudbursts. And so, the lawn continues to get higher, and the mulch continues to get wetter and heavier, and the grass beneath it gets deader. If only I’d forced myself to finish moving it during the weekend…but we were so busy, I just didn’t manage it. Now, when the rains finally taper off this weekend, I will have my work cut out for me. And that mulch will chuckle and snicker to itself as I shovel out one soaking wet glob at a time. I can’t wait.
But at least we shouldn’t have a drought any time soon, so there’s your silver lining for today. See you tomorrow.
