Things I've learned the past 2 days:

• Wood chips need time to "cure" before use as a mulch.

• A yoga mat over a twin sheet covering a trailer full of wood chips is not only comfortable, but will keep the chips from falling out.
• 
Fat melts in patches making it easy to identify where your energy came from after a long day of hard labor.

• If you ask for it, most municipalities are only too happy to give you all the wood chips you want. The acquire tons of the stuff regularly by cutting trees and limbs that endanger power lines. This is because if they give the chips to you, then they don't have to pay the landfill or disposal fees they would otherwise have to pay. It's a win-win.
• After 2 years of marriage, Hubby can still be surprisingly cute!
