A giant pile of steaming...

arborist wood chips

We signed up with a website that coordinates with local arborists to bring their woodchips to people like me that want to use them in the garden.  Supposedly, chips make great compost, slowly releasing nutrients into the soil while making a good home for good bugs and suppressing weeds.

It took a couple weeks for the load to come, but when it did, the truck filled my driveway.  I moved some of it myself to the back yard, but there was still a pile at least the size of my car left over.  Andrew hired some of our favorite teenagers to come by and help move the rest.  

I think baby bear looks like an 80's preteen scifi movie boy, with the outfit, backpack, and face mask.  So cute.  Watching him bustle around make me smile for the first time in a long time.
