Living the Dream Year 3 Day 15 – Mulching and weeding

Year 3 Day 15 – “Living the Dream”. Wednesday, 5/17/2023. Just a mulching, and weeding day. Picked up two yards of hardwood mulch and used it all. Tomorrow we will pick up another two yards. We should have enough then. We have been paying $25.00 a yard and have bought four yards so far.

Mulch piles can get very hot which is caused by bacteria multiplying rapidly breaking down the organic materials. When this happens, it creates a lot of heat. Look at the steam rising off the pile of mulch when the decomposing wood mixes with the cooler air. I love this really cool picture.

Look at these mole mounds. We have to learn how to coexist with them.

Today’s product recommendations are for keeping your skin looking its best at sea and in the sun. My favorite skin care products are made by Elemis. Although I do sometimes try a new product here and there. I actually find myself going back to Elemis. 1) I start my morning in the shower with a face wash. Currently I am using ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash https://amzn.to/3qZkwqC 2) After showering I am currently using ELEMIS Superfood Facial Oil https://amzn.to/3XvfUVu 3) Then the Elemis Pro-Collagen Maine Cream with spf30 gets applied. It is the best. It costs a little more than the drug store creams but wow it works. Whenever I decide I want to buy another less expensive brand I am sorry and head right back to this cream. https://amzn.to/46sJZsH 4) Steve also uses an Elemis product. He tends to break out when he uses sunscreen often. He finds the ELEMIS Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads excellent to use. It cleans that sunscreen out of his pores. When he uses these pads to cleanse his face he does not break out. https://amzn.to/3px1oQn
