Saturday mornings are the only day throughout the week that I have to sleep in, and yet it is the only day of the week that I get up BEFORE my 6:30am alarm. This type of frustration can only be summed up by singing Alanis Morissette's "Isn't It Ironic" ......... don't ya think!
In some other crazy twist of fate I ended up being the first person outside working on the yard. Before I got started I took some before pictures. When ever I take before pictures I always have high hopes for the project. I don't have many before pictures. Maybe I am not quite the optimist I consider myself to be.
7am Before:
5pm After:
All that with only 1 down poor of rain right at lunch time! Miracle, no just an answer to my prayers! Ha
We couldn't be happier with how it turned it out, and the mulch has now officially survived 2 big rains and 3 little sprinkles. That type of excitement can only be expressed through song, "Hey Ya!"

That looks really good! And you guys did a great job for it not to wash away. We have a spot in our yard that always washes out and we are trying a pine needle brush type covering because the mulch would go everywhere every time it rained. It is hard work and blister-inducing, but I love working in the yard and seeing the results. :D
YAY! It looks AWESOME! Megan has to be so thrilled! Your home is so beautiful! You two have done an amazing job- now come help with mine!kidding
