Rain ~ Bark ~ Marteen ~ Pig Dog ~ Tammy ~ TBT

    

Good 56º cloudy morning.

Yesterday we got just under 1/2" of rain. 20% chance for "light rain" today. Boy howdy, back East they are having tons of rain and flooding!

I got out early and put down the weed control mesh...

This is the "industrial strength" instead of the regular weed control mesh that only lasts about 2 years. A little more expensive, but worth it!

That was back killer!

Then the ground control guys came and sprayed the bark...

I like it! Bruiser thinks it is a giant litter box! Swell...

Marteen got here early and trimmed my pine trees, taking off the lower branches...

Before:

After:

Now I have another ginormous burn pile!
