We talked briefly and then I sent him on inside since it was clear that he was exhausted from the day's work.
We didn't know then that it was going to rain and rain and rain almost all day today. By this evening, even I, diehard mulch enthusiast that I am, quickly lost my enthusiasm for shoveling those heavy water-saturated woodchips in the steamy heat.
We managed about half the truckload before we both called it quits for the night.
By tomorrow I will have gotten more cardboard and I'll be ready to move a lot more of it to its final spot in my yard.
