We’re doing a little sprucing up in the backyard. The goal is to get the larger shrubs in this month, so they have plenty of time to get cozy. I also have some big plans for a new garden layout.

We needed some more mulch, and I was pretty impressed with myself for loading up, pushing, and unloading this whole cart of tree bits. In the 90 degree weather, concrete parking lot. My farmer muscles come back as soon as I need them. In my past life, I think I was a landscaper.
