navygreen | Rushing forward with mulch. (Reply)

I spent about three hours this afternoon digging up mulch from the garden. I'm nowhere near finished; rather, I think it will take me 3-4 more days to get it all done at this rate. Hopefully, however, Philip will be able to help me sometime in the next few days, and maybe that will shave off a day or two that it would take me by myself.

We've got to get all the mulch up and lay grass seed where the garden was this summer. I expected as much, and I'd planned on taking all our mulch over to the new house, for the side and back garden beds there. I changed my mind this afternoon though, and I decided to just really fill in the side bed and area around the bushes at this house. I won't have to weed the bit of grass in there, and they'll never be able to see the difference. And I won't have to take possibly-squash-bug-egg-laden mulch over to the new house, either. Win!

As for the new house, we did some appointments this afternoon before I picked up A.J. from school, and we've got some dates now. We'll be taking keys to the new house on November 1st, and then we'll start painting right away. The movers are coming to pack up this house on the 8th, and they'll deliver our household goods at the new house on the 9th.

I already have too many things on my plate up until Halloween, wishing that I had more hours in the day - on the 30th, especially. What this means now, of course, is that I will be a tornado Nicole from here on out until at least the 10th. I'll be lucky if I remember to eat! (Incidentally, I forgot and didn't have time to eat today until dinner tonight. OH. MY. The heartburn that ensued from too many hours with nothing in my tummy! Thank goodness for
