When we moved to New Braunfels, our realtor told us that the town provides free mulch. Considering how much mulch we used to buy in Connecticut, this news was music to our ears!
She also said we would have to buy a pickup truck like everyone else in town so that we could go help ourselves. This advice was not music to our ears. I don’t want another vehicle, and I do not want to get rid of the Pathfinder to replace it with a truck. So I just put the thought of mulch aside.
A couple of days ago my next door neighbor drove up with his truck full of mulch and volunteered to get a load for me. I made a deal that I would help him with his mulch in return for his getting a load for me. What a great deal.
So we drove our to the mulch center where I saw the largest pile of mulch I have ever seen, and trucks and trailers lined up to be filled with newly-ground mulch. What a great deal indeed.
Now, I wonder, how many times this season can I impose on this good neighbor to make the drive again? For now, however, I have my work cut out for me.
