I wasn’t kidding about the size of the compost heap!

It is a virtual jungle in this corner of the yard behind it. All the weeding and clearing activity at the moment takes place around the house. Sometimes there are advantages to neglect … I wouldn’t have the peppercorn tree, gum tree, nor the palm tree if I was fanatical with weeds. Things got away from me when I had crook elbows (had two tennis elbows at the same time) then crook wrists. Then I tied myself to the computer when I got hooked on family history.  And now, the body parts are fit and I have the yearning to get everything under control. Started clearing in the spring, but it just keeps growing! Funny that.

Looking down the service road from the other side of next door. This side of the tree is my warm up and cooldown area — or it will be when I do get to the push stage. By then I will have to ditch the dog: she is twelve years old, wouldn’t want to kill her.
