Silly Girl

thinking i could maintain two blogs....
5 acres...300 approx avocado trees
...
soon to be 6 weekend getaway cottages
i will be recording the transformation of our property from here forward


a shame this lovely patch of nasturtiums had to go
beautiful really when planted en masse
will try to replicate this
...
stumps in the background
grandson so fondly named the tree cemetery
..


looking up towards the home from the northern aspect
many palms have gone
some of which we see now
...
why do people plant soooo many things so close
we have worked tirelessly
(well some of us not so)
the thing that kept me going was the fact that
this job would be done 'once'
...
i have lost a few of my roses
which have traveled with me for some time now
unfortunately they said NO to one more transplant
will have to start again there
...

old frangipani's
sick and tired
this spot destined for 'Beautiful Things'
...


oh so wish these little people were living just a little closer
to so obligingly help
in our endeavours

love you guys
dont forget nonna and pop
come visit anytime
ok...tissue time
x :(
