Mulch Monster

---

We are going to spend this weekend killing a mulch monster.
The mulch monster will arrive sometime tomorrow.
Our attack will be well thought out.
Shovels, wheel barrows, gloves and a trench machine will be our weapons of mass destruction as we wear down the mulch monster.

---

When we get done, this large mulch monster will beautify our yard.
We are going for curb appeal.
Putting on our best show as we get ready to sell.

---

It is funny how close selling a house is to courting.
Flowers are blush, lip gloss and eye shadow
Mulch is eyeliner, mascara, lip liner.
Pruning your shrubs and trees is like getting a great hair cut
Keeping your grass even is like putting on foundation.
Clean windows and doors, like putting in eye drops and brushing your teeth.

And then come the blind dates.
People who your real estate "dating broker" matches you up with.

---

They talk about your house just like a blind date.

---

If you like your home as much as you like yourself, this can be a sensitive vulnerable time.

---

Well...
We are still getting our make over.
No blind dates yet.

---

This is a kind of exciting time as we are ready to date another house and we want to be sure we get the right person to date and then marry the house we are in.

---

There is no telling what our first "blind date" will look like.
