Baron Von Mulchhausen

I'm having four cubic yards of mulch delivered next weekend. And not a moment too soon. I just about wore out my weed whacker this morning chopping down all this invasive crap.

I've been experimenting with this theory that if I plant a lot of eye-catching stuff, like poppies and Indian paintbrush "Castilleja pruinosa" that people won't noticed the weeds so much. I figure it works for people who put plastic lawn flamingos and inoperable vehicles in their front yards.

Well, no such luck. The poppies are nice, but the front yard still has that vacant lot look to it. A vacant lot with some local color.

You know, like you used to see in the "Dirty Harry" movies.

But the mulch is gonna change all that. The mulch and approximately 23 hours of back-breaking labor. If I can still sit up straight and move the mouse, I'll post the "after" pictures.
