The Farm

How wonderful to visit the farm. It's such an amazing place. Being there I felt that it is the real world and that everything and everywhere else is the distraction. Such complete peace.

This is the tree I planted when I was about 8. I remember being amazed the first visit when the tree was taller than me. Now it's a huge grove!

And here is our 1983 Christmas tree! It was tiny and in a pot (and nearly buried under presents!) back then.

Happy Mum and Dad.
And the good old 3-cornered-jacks! I picked out more than 80 from each shoe!

It is good to have you blogging again. And nice that you concentrate on trees - I usually put up pics of the renovations. Actually,we are v pleased with the growth of the trees we planted on LSL in 2000, and are going up on the long w/e to plant a grove of wattles, callistemon etc at the front, near your grevillea. Much love, Mum
