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…

Happy New Year

It 01/01/2010. Thats an auspicious date, I think, but then being a sci-fi geek I would!

Ten years ago we were waiting, waiting for number one son to emerge. As patience is not a virtue either myself and the EIC are known for, so even though he was not due till the twentieth, we both felt he had slept in enough already… Fortunately the ninth came and so did he

Also we had watched the computers to see if the Y2K bug was going to be a problem. Lucky it didn’t. I think it must be a product of age, but I am starting to look back on things and go, hmmm haven’t things changed, I remember when…

So New Years eve comes around, and being the party animals we are, it is a quiet night in.  Earlier, being on holiday we decide to take a grubber and spade and take to the top acre paddock. Many dead thistles later there is a strange feeling of satisfaction.

On the study/writing front: I have started studying again, but not writing.  I blame the new toy! The EIC has complained that having won a PS3 she is now a PS3 widow. I don’t k now, I havent got gamers thumb yet
