well, I went to lowes today and picked up my supply of mulch. Haven't had to mulch in a couple years, so its pretty well gone. Loaded down the el-camino with 30 bags. It looked like one of those low-riders. All that was missing was the radio "booming" as you drive through the neighborhood real s-l-o-w. Thats what I'm starting to do tomarrow. Clean out the beds before our next blizzard hits--(hope not!!)
