Study, Writing, Birthdays and Time Wasters!

I have finished assignment two, well as much as I can at this point as I have to wait for one more response (it had a question were I needed to get three others to do some things), and while not overly pleased with bits, I think I have done the best job I can and will be pleased to submit it. I am not expecting the 86% I got for the first one. I will be happy just as long as I pass.

So that means back to writing this week. Tonight I want to get a lot done, so I think I will avoid playing any games on the new toy. We have only been renting, so we wont rent any this week which will make it easier.

The hay has been gathered up into bales and taken, with us losing one tree in the process, with two more damaged.  We are trying to be philosophical about it all, as its probably not bad for our first year and not being out there to do maintenance.

The TBT are a bit bumptious after the birthday trip to Splash Planet in Hastings requested by the big birthday boy. I still don’t feel old enough to have a ten year old son. He had a great birthday and both boys were shattered when we got home.

I had an unsettling start to the weekend, as just close to closing I had to evict a drunk/stoned teenager/early twentysomething from the library, who wanted to “wait till closing and met me outside”. Sigh. Needless to say if he had been waiting I would have just called the police.  But after that everything settled down again for a good birthday/weekend. 

Grass, Dogs and Trees

We took the dogs out to Entfarm again today, and a camera, so here are some pics of the fruit trees now the grass has been cut. Also of mad dogs running around like crazy things.

Candy racing around like mad

Thistles in middle the potato patch.

Now you can see the trees

Men With Mowers

So today two men with large mowers came to cut down the grass amongst the trees. A nervous couple of hours later and a lot of it’s down, and no trees were harmed. Whew…

Someone will come to bail the grass, and we will need to weedwack the rest, but then it will be back under control. We can’t wait to get out there permanently so as to make maintenance much easier…
