One thing lead to another!

Well it's the same old story (well for me it is!)..... I mowed the front lawn and whilst doing this I suddenly had a wonderful thought, why not pull out a garden in the front yard which I particular haven't liked for a long time, TODAY! And the next thing you know we have ended up leveling the front yard with still with a bit of work to do.


What else do you do on a day which is 35 degrees!

So now Troy went and got a bobcat and tipper truck (the lurks of the being in the earthmoving game) and just waited for the nod from me to keep on removing shrubs, garden beds and grass and an underground watering system. Oh well, living in Goulburn you won't be allowed to use these systems ever again!

He didn't do to bad job for someone who really doesn't know how to drive one of these things. He only went through the fence twice!

So what's now left to do? Organise next Saturday a double driveway to be put in. One thing down. Next to decide on which shrubs to replace the ones we pulled out! Crazy isn't it. We took a family trip to the two nurseries in Goulburn which was an exciting event. Kids were cranky and bored to tears, husband and wife weren't really seeing eye to eye in each choice of plants.

Troy wants Kangaroo Paw and some sort of Grevilla and I would like Peony Roses and Lavendar. But before we plant I would like the house rendered! There I go again.... one thing leading to another. Lord help us!
