Black Mulch

Today as soon as school was out I headed over to my Grandma's to pick up my dad and get a load of mulch for her... We sped over and got her load then I decided to use some of my birthday cash to get a scoop for me. I decided to go with black this year because both neighbors to the left and right and the ones across the street had black...thus... I had to have black...

If you remember a few posts back I cleaned the flower bed out and it has been in need of mulch ever since... We quickly unloaded the mulch and my dad and Matt started shoveling it in the beds... I was surprised because I really thought we would just unload it and finish later.. wrong... we knocked it out in about 50 minutes... Then, like any hard working men, we headed to the Beacon for dinner... CALLLLLL IT!!!!

Below are some pics... let me know what you think!!!! I really like how green everything looks against the black...now if those daylillies will just start to bloom.

The bottom pic is of the dogwood my Granny Wartha got me 3 years ago.. I have blogged about it before... It normally just looks pitiful, but this year it has more leaves than ever... It might just make it after all!!! Now, if I can just get grass to grow I'll be set!
