The weekend was frustrating, slow, and punctuated by a lot of sneezing, but I feel so much better today now that my cold is waning and we have the decomposed granite in.
I've heard a few people say they think decomposed granite is a little overdone, and they may have a point. But if it is, I don't mind. As a mulch it looks nice, packs firmly, and drains well. Also once it's settled it's not nearly as attractive to cats as wood mulch, which at least on my street will ensure that your yard smells like a litterbox. I love the stuff.
I got this batch delivered from Geo Growers in Austin and would do so again.
If you are still curious about what we've been doing since the last update and would like the photographic blow-by-blow (which includes pictures of a cute dog, a handsome man, and a shiny dump truck), start clicking here.
Oh, and we still haven't planted the tree yet. It'll go where the blue tarp is now.
After that we will do a million other things, and then we will realize we have a million things more to do and do those. Then we will have to redo the first million things, and I'm guessing we will pass the rest of our lives in this fashion until we get old and die.
