Margie spent the day catching up on Needed Things to Do.<\/p>\n
For my part, I bought Much Mulch, to scatter about the yard. Forty-five cubic feet, and it covered about two-thirds of the flower beds. Prior to that, I planted a bushel of bulbs in the New Side Yard and the Old New Side Yard — dwarf irises, dutch irises, tulips and muscari. <\/p>\n
Still, too much is left un-mulched. More Mulch Next Week! Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Margie did a great job cleaning the kitchen. This is a pre-requisite for (a) the cleaning people coming Monday, and (b) my boss from the Netherlands coming Monday night.<\/p>\n
Of course, we didn’t get any Christmas stuff done, alas. Maybe tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
