Every morning I rush up and turn the computer on to see what the picture is today. Sometimes there isn't a picture, and I check every few minutes until I go off to school. Then I have to rush home and see if they were VERY late putting it on. The day is not complete without my boy.
Here he is with the new chair in his bedroom. However this seems to have changed its format and is a bit blurry. But the cuteness still shines through. Its tough being long distance grandparents but this does ease the pain.
All the Back Block has been plowed up ready for sowing of the watermelons.
The loam looks rich and moist as it glistens in the sun.
The pile of posts - about 4,000 I reckon are slowly being farmed out for a pittance. Farmers are using them by putting them in upside down so that they dont have to spend hours taking the nails out. Because they are treated they cant be burned, and they decompose very slowly in land fills so they are expensive to dump.
But the vines can be burned. Here they are in two huge piles - I'm glad we didn't have to get rid of them all ourselves - 11,000 vines is a lot to have to pull out, and given that each one cost between $3 and $5 each it's sad to see them go.
The last part to be ploughed up will be the main block by the house - its all gone ahead quite painlessly for us (although we have had to remortgage - which should keep us here for another 8years!)
