We had to break out the snow shovels today. OK, it wasn't snowing. We had 2 yards of mulch delivered and we used the shovels to scoop up the mulch and put it in the wheelbarrel. Two yards of mulch dumped into your driveway doesn't look like a lot until you start filling the wheelbarrel. Ten wheelbarrelfuls later when you still haven't made a dent in the huge mound, you realize how much a yard really is.
We always order a type of mulch called Black Forest. It's triple-ground so it is very fine with no huge chucks of bark and it's very dark in color. The price has increased during the last few years...it's now over $50 per yard but it's worth it.
We have tickets for the Cardinals/Astros game tomorrow. Go Cards.

Melanie:
Just stumbled upon your blog after reading one of your postings on SCS. I, too, live in Wildwood, and you should have seen the mountain of mulch in my driveway this weekend! It took the whole family, but it's finally gone. I got such a great deal, too... (I think I was the mulch guy's last load of the day, it was raining, and he just wanted to dump his load and go home! ha ha!) Thanks for your postings... I happened to stumble upon the Bella post one day, and was surprised because I thought I was the only one who didn't like them. There's something totally childish about the whole proposition, like Beanie Babies for stampers...I'm waiting for the "hold my hair back so I can throw up in the toilet-Bella". Of course, can't post this "over there" for fear of being sent to the time-out chair. To each his own, I wish the creator success and gobs of orders. Enjoyed your blog! Hope to see you at Big Bear one day...love their Italian salad!
