Slivers

I spread two yards of bark today over the flower beds in my back yard. I’ve been meaning to get it done for weeks, but just haven’t had the opportunity until today.

The thing I love about barking is the finished look that is provides the yard. Everything looks clean and sharp. the thing I’m not too fond of is the slivers.

I can’t tell you how many slivers I pulled from my hands, arms and legs today. In the end it was definitely worth it and the yard looks great, but what a pain.

That’s life though isn’t it. Full of little pains, little scrapes, little things getting under your skin. However, if you can get past those things, the end result is most often so beautiful.
