Timber.....

Hi all and welcome....

This week we have been getting rid of a few trees...5

one fruit and the other 4 are problem native trees that have got way too big.

You can see the natives in among the palms ...Plus they drop there lower limbs all the time so time for them to go...

I have persevered with this peach tree for 5 years and it has never bared any fruit...

So it was time for it to go...

We have since planted two tropical peach tress and they have given us lots of fruit.

All the trees will be cut up into fire wood so they won't be wasted.

It does look a little bare here now but I like it, so I won't be planting another tree. 

This week the weather has been so much cooler so I have been spending lots of time in the garden.-

in between doing the never ending book work...

Have a great week

Play Ground.....

Wow as I am siting here

I need to tell you that this is the hottest day ever here for us.

45 degrees.....I am so thankful for my air con..

I was thinking if we still had the pool I would be in it, but the water would be too hot any way.

So instead I am going to do a post on the old pool area.

 Last year we decided to pull the pool  down as it was getting old and rusty...

It Did a good job while the kids were growing up, and many hours of fun and memories were made here.

It has taken a while to get there but this area is now a 

lovely area for the grand children to play in..

The grass is slowly trying to grow....Now with this heat I hope it doesn't die.

 The cubby house just needs a clean out and made all pretty for the grand daughters to play in then 

the area will be complete.

The white box at the back is a old donga that has seen a lot of changes as well.

Now it is guest accommodation for visitors.

I call her Donna the Donga....

Bruce has just added two more loops to the arch and they are nearly full as well...

This is going to make a wonderful tunnel of wisteria one day.

It is a great area to sit in the cool and watch the children play....

Looking forward to Easter when all the Grand babies will be home..

If you live in Australia

Keep Cool....

Autumn is coming.......
