Spring has sprung and sprained the back!

Yeah, it was a beautiful Good Friday and Easter weekend. To get a jump on my planned day of yardwork, I went the Home Depot for mulch. My first trip was six bags on Wednesday... so thats when I started. I put a weed guard screen down on the side of the house, and laid out the six bags of mulch. Well, that was not even close to being enough mulch. Back to HD I go, for five more bags. Thursday, picked up six more bags to work with the front. All in all after laying out 22 bags of mulch, planted five bushes, and 1000 (well seemed like 1000) pansies, I headed down to Mom's. Mom needed some help with yard work as well... we raked up the last of her leaves and put them on the curb for pick up, dug and placed her new brick boarder (only three bricks, thank God!) for a little patch in the front, and did a heavy lifting project which was the straw on the camels back!! So now I sit at work with ice packs and little sympathy as I am not the only one who over did it this weekend. My yard looks great!
