Spring Has Arrived!

We think Spring is here - at least for now! The daffodils and crocus' are blooming and it's raining!

After a couple of days of sunshine Jim decided it was time for the annual Mulching of the Garden.

He ordered a truck load of mulch to be delivered on Friday - only afterwards discovering that four days of rain were in the forecast!

He called over to let his Mulch Helper (aka Declan) know it was on it's way!

Jim spent most of Friday afternoon spreading mulch, trying to beat the rain. He not only enlisted the help of Declan this year but got all the little boys in the neighborhood to join in (there was no school), at least for an hour or so!
What is it about little boys and dirt?

Tessa and I tried hard to keep ourselves scarce so we didn't have to help! We headed to the mall!




There is still half a pile of mulch in the driveway - any volunteers??

Smart move on going to the mall. I would have done the same thing. :)
I bet the boys loved being in the dirt.

I think all you need is some more wheel barrows, and the promise of cookies when they are done.
