LOL – but this little project was like working out – heavy lifting – raking – spreading – and digging!
It took us two years of just looking at it and then deciding it was time –
let the work begin!
Anything behind the mulch and toward the trees and bushes – is protected wetlands –
so we can not do anything beyond what you see here –
there is a drainage ditch and until it gets hot – will have water in it.
Beyond this treeline are several ponds – a catchment system to contain runoff and rain.
We have added a birdbath – a white bobbing bird – and an Oleander bush in the foreground.
This is the downward end – water flows this way and out to the ponds.
We have planted perennials here to come back each year.
The upper end has our birdfeeders which attract many birds throughout the day!
Note the yellow flowers – they were eaten down to the mulch by a deer!
Here you can see the bush I planted last spring – and has grown really big.
Forest “FACES” look back at us in our backyard!
23 Bags of mulch I carried from the front – and opened and dumped for Sherry to spread –
we had to first dig out all the weeds – rake and level the ground –
It was labor – a workout for two seniors almost 75 years old!
