So mulch !

 We spent 4 hours finishing up all the mulch for the back yard. It looks good! We had enough mulch to do all behind the apple trees, and the entire burm with a thick 3" on all! It was a mixture of pine needles and branches along with mulch, but it looks good! The best part, it was free, from Chipdrop.com.  Even though it took us a total of 6.5hours. Our back yard looks good. Just need to freshen up the other mulch along the back rock wall and under the deck. Maybe we'll just go with the lighter sliver mulch next spring. Doubt we will need another huge drop of mulch again. 

The drop!!!

Finished!! I started with the apple trees since there was just dirt and zero grass growing back there. Then we had more mulch so started on the burm. It's a huge area that we covered in mulch because we went behind the burm too. Thankfully, we had just enough to cover all the area's we wanted and then some! 

It was mixed with some pine needles and sticks, but it was free. Oh and they snuck in 3 logs too. We will just burn those up in the fire. Speaking of fires. We actually had a back yard fire last night. It was 42 degrees, no wind and I wanted to burn up the leaves and branches that were in there. We did have a tough time getting the fire started and it never did burn up all that was in our fire pit. I think we lasted an hour out there. 

After doing mulch from 10 to 2:30pm, we treated ourselves to Nico's in Uptown. They decorate the entire house/restaurant in Christmas. Something like I want to do in our house this year, just one area/room. 

Turned out super cute. They had a Grinch room. 

We went for happy hour and shared chips, salsa and nacho's. We were starving and the food was sooo good! 

The room we sat in with the jingle bar. So cute!!! We got there before it started getting super crowded and left to go have wings and fries at another place. 

I want to try making these marshmallow fluff snowmen on drink glasses! I looked up a recipe to make my own fluff. I'l have to try it this week before T-day. I think turkeys would look cute too and just color the fluff to make the feathers!
