Friday 18th May 2012

The last couple of days have been busy ..... and this morning we are still recovering from planting trees - the land is now dotted with trees - not with the hundreds that you would suppose from this so far but with about two dozen - my only thought at the moment is..... OH MY GOD!!!!!!We still have hundreds to still plant - will I survive???!!!!!!

We have started our first grove of citrus trees - conveniently close to the dam for watering - we still have not finalised the type of watering system that we are going to put in so at present we are watering by hand - the hard way is not the best way but at least it is getting done, but can not continue this way for long - the sheer amount of time that it takes will stop it happening.

This morning we are hoping that Ken Pearce will be coming to take out the internal fences on the property thus opening it all up for easier access. We are also hoping that the neighbourhood slasher will be here to slash the rest of the grass.

We have organised for Ken to be here for the next few weekends - it will give us a boost to the amount of work that needs to be done for us to be able to stand back and completely see the lay of the land for the final plan of the golf course to be set in cement!

We have already mown two of the fairways down and can see their layout but seeing is believing and seeing more of the contours of the land has inspired Tommy to change his plans for some of the fairways - therefore the quickest route to clearing the land will give him the easiest chance to complete any changes that he wants to make.

We have my sister Karen and her husband, Leith visiting this morning for morning tea so a full morning all around. They are coming from Kingaroy on their way to a nice quiet weekend on the Sunshine Coast before going back to work after a holiday that was curtailed due to the weather in Victoria and South Australia. Spring is probably a less cold option.
