Wood chips everywhere!

This isn't really all that exciting, but noteable because it signals a pause in our back yard labors.

Everywhere in the back that was once dominated by ivy is now covered in cardboard that's covered in wood chips. It's not pretty BUT it is temporary, come late spring/early summer it will all be removed at which time we hope to be able to beautify the lawn, then the labor will begin again.

Here's some pics...

It really is more of a sight in person (ie: it looks even uglier, but a little less like just leaves everywhere).
