Yard work - front yard

 So our front yard needs quite a bit of help.  Thomas is "helping" by collecting "blossoms" LOL - he had to get every single dandylion stem he could see, all while singing a song he learned in primary - "on a golden springtime" - (if I can, I will try to upload the video I got of it).

 "On a golden springtime
underneath the ground
a tiny seedling lay asleep
 until the sun shone down
awake, awake, o little seed!
Push upward to the light
The day is bright
with all your might
push upward to the light."

 Our neighbors installed this cute 4 ft. fence~  I decided it needs some dressing up - plus it made my rock mound look sorta out of place. or too small, or something - so I used my garden hose to map out a much bigger mulch garden area.  Tyson did not approve of how big I made it, so I shrunk it down a tiny bit more.

Forest Street Compost had advertised that they were giving away free mulch for all the month of may!  I was excited.  Until we went to get the first load, and found out it was full of trash, that is why it was free.  So that load went behind the fence, and can be used in the backyard.
After all the work it took to get our first batch unloaded, I wasn't sure I was up for another round, but we got the second load, and I waited until the next day to shovel it out of the truck.   (Thanks Nate, for letting us borrow your truck, and AJ for letting us borrow your wheelbarrow)  (and Tracie for letting us use your truck for the last load we still need to get ;)

 The rocks for the border were collected from down the street.  Another neighbor  had removed them from their yard, and just thrown them into the common area, so we have slowly been loading them up and bringing them home.  I wish they'd just told me they were getting rid of them, we could have saved a step by having them thrown directly in our yard :)

Still To do in the front yard - LOTS OF WEEDING .....
