In Jo's Yard - 38 Pine Straw

It's February 12, 2019 – pine straw delivery day!  Our Villages Chapter of FNPS maintains the median strip at the entrance to the Lake Griffin State Park.  I joined TV-FNPS President Steve Turnipseed and member Roger Selch there to unload 60 bales of pine straw at Lake Griffin State Park.  At my house, 82 bales were delivered – 40 for my own yard and 42 for other TV-FNPS members.  I placed my 40 bales around the yard.  I had work scheduled 2:30AM-8:30AM – I don’t know when I will have the energy to spread the pine straw.  I wonder what I got myself into!  February 14, after working and going to Mystery Lovers Book Club, I try to spread one or two bales, then I am off to bed, exhausted.  Over the next week, I manage to spread 30 bales of pine straws, re-sell 6, and stack up the rest for future use.  Boy, that’s hard work I’m not used to, but it was manageable by doing a little at a time.
