I've never been interested in yard work. This is partly because maintaining a green lawn in Austin is not the most resourceful way to use water, and partly because I have a hard enough time keeping the inside of the house clean as it is. Every September, nevertheless, we clean up the yard for our annual October pumpkin patch. This year I think we did an especially nice job of it, so I took some pictures. As my father's mother says, "If you don't write it down, it never happened." Now it's more like, "If you don't blog about it, you have nothing to show your friends who don't care anyway."
After removing a dozen bags of old mulch, weeds, and trimmings, we spread out ten bags of fresh mulch and planted lavender, a second rosemary bush, and a brand new herb garden. We also have 10 new jackolantern sculptures and a 6-panel pumpkin fence to add to our trusty rusty Jack Scarecrow and porch lantern. Happy October!
