Oh, my aching back...

I took on the first project of the summer.

The King said, let's increase the little flower

garden we have next to the regular garden beds.

Let's bring it out to where the tree is.  And then

we will have a place for the butterfly bush he

wants to get.

Out came the tiles I had around the little garden.

Got the sticks and string out, so I could make sure

it was even.. When the King got home, I had him

till it all up even the older little section.

On Wednesday, I swung by Home Depot and

got some mulch bark. 10 bags... loaded them up

on the wagon by myself... In fact I looked at two

different kinds. One I could barely move and the

other I could lift. Both 2c yards.. I bought the one

I could lift.  Brought them home.. wheel barrowed

them over to the area.  Then proceeded to rake

the area as level as I could.

By that time, the King had came home from work,

we spread the weed barrier sheets with overlap.

I had him spread the 10 bags of mulch bark.

Not quite enough. Back the store and got 8 more.

Looked pretty good.  Too soon for flowers. But

it will look nice for the while.. we wait. at least a

month..

Came in and fixed dinner... sat..and then I got

up.. kind of... my back, my hip, my leg... I feel

90... glad I am going to be 74 on Saturday..

because 90 was not good...

Now I got to figure out what is my next project.

It will have to wait for next week when we get

the temps of 60+. Only rain forecasted for the

weekend.
