This was the way I felt when I finished the afternoon of leaf mulching. When I took my watch off, it looked like I had quite a tan. It was all dirt! I had a thin layer of fine dust all over me and my clothes.
I made three large leaf bags of leaf mulch and stored them in the garage until I’m ready to distribute it. Depending on the weather tomorrow, I’ll try to do some more before it’s due to rain.
Our new system is about as good as it can get. It’s still a lot of work for an old broad. I was really exhausted – even after taking breaks and drinking lots of water – when I finally got everything put away for the day. I got a lot of leaves from the front lawn and the area between the triple flower bed and the driveway. I’ll do another area tomorrow if I get the chance.
I caught my breath and drank more water when I came in, then went up to throw my clothes into the hamper and take a nice, hot shower. I came down feeling alive again and ready to finish up dinner.
We had a really productive day today. We may get rained out tomorrow, but we have plenty of projects to tackle inside, as well.
I hope your day was a fun one.
