landscaping at the barndo is a step above the villa

Apr 25, 2024

Today I did a thing. I ordered a bajillion bags of black mulch that will be delivered tomorrow. That means my weekend should be filled with a back-breaking chore.

Smaller homes mean less landscaping.

The house I built when I got a divorce the first time around was tiny. I was even poorer then than I am now. First came a garage build and then around a 700 square foot addition. Still, the outside perimeter that I landscaped was manageable.

Is it because I’m starting from scratch here that it seems like I may never finish?

Maybe it’s because I’m tackling bigger areas. Or maybe it’s because I’m much older. Or maybe it’s just because the areas chosen to landscape here weren’t planned by me. No matter the reason, I sure have a huge task to start this weekend that I am dreading.
