Such Wind

Yesterday was incredibly windy.  Too cold and unpleasant to work outside even though it was partly sunny.

The metal wheelbarrow, overturned on top of the newly delivered 4 yards of mulch, was lifted and sent flying down the driveway.

Today was sunny and cold, in the 50s, but less windy, and we spread the mulch.  A good crisp day to do heavy work.

At first it seemed like this additional load of 4 yards was too much and we couldn't use it all.  We spread it thickly on the back of the berm to use it up. 

But then we decided to add a thin layer to the driveway garden to freshen it, and there wasn't enough in the end.  It is spruce mulch from Envirocycle, very dark, and you can see the contrast in color where we spread it.  Not enough of a shortfall to order any more though!

Total volume of mulch we spread this spring: 12 cubic yards!
