Drying Out?
We've had sun yesterday and today, with a thundershower in between. The lawn is still squishy. I need to get out and redistribute some of the wood chip mulch that washed into the lawn, but I think I'll give it a few more days to dry out. The grass there doesn't have long to live anyway, because we are verrrry close to getting a deck built over it.
Speaking of mulch, one of the casualties of the recent storms was a 100 year old elm tree on the White House grounds. You may have seen this elm tree even if you've never been to Washington. It, or one very like it, appears on the US $20 bill. Its remains will be returned to the soil from whence it came. Or less poetically, they're going to grind it up for mulch.
Looks like we're going to get another thunderstorm this afternoon or evening, but I sure hope it holds off until we have some windows back in place. Right now the old family room windows are gone and the new ones are still in the garage in shrinkwrap.
