Whew!! It's been a busy summer so far - and it's been hot! You might not think of NH as a particularly warm place, but we've had a lot of days this summer in the 90's, with high humidity - NOT the greatest weather to be out working in the yard.
But over the past couple days, we've had some truly glorious weather, and today I took advantage of it to accomplish one of the many projects on my to-do list.
It involves this sad little plot of garden:
It was fairly promising when I started working on it last year, but I never quite finished, and the weeds eagerly moved in over the spring and summer, leaving it looking quite neglected - which was less than ideal, since this is right by the sidewalk at the front of our lawn.
It was a pretty easy fix, though - just a few minutes of weeding, and several bags of mulch (on clearance, no less - woohoo!!), and now it looks like this:
Amazing what a difference a bit of mulch makes, huh?
I found a couple treasures in the sand. Please ignore how ridiculously filthy my hand is...for some reason, I chose not to wear gloves.
The penny will go in my battered coins collection, and the button will go in one of my button jars. Yeah, I know...I'm weird. :P
Happy Monday!!!
I meant to tell you the new mulch looks nice =)
ReplyDeleteLol, I thought that was a green glass thingy, not a coin. Is the button wooden?
