Last Thursday and Friday we worked like dogs in the blazing sun, putting blocks around one side of the house. The line between the grass and the mulch kept getter more and more scraggly and uneven, with the grass continuously encroaching in. I figured blocks would put a stop to that.
So we borrowed Pam’s nephew Logan, and 130 blocks later, the house looks a whole lot better. Plus we mulched the whole area. Mulched the rest of the front of the house, plus the other side (block-less), too.
Jordi views the blocks as his personal highway from the back of the house to the front (which is off-limits, and he knows it). He enjoys walking the blocks, even though, when we finally catch up to him in the front yard, it means he has to come in. A feline time-out. (You can click the photos for a larger view of Jordi who, at 18 pounds, is plenty large indeed.)
