oh that is looking great Kell... I bet it smells nice,too. Drink alot of water, is it hot today? Your doggies are cute, I don't think I had seen a picture of them before... we had a german shepherd growing up, so I'm partial.

More pics! please :)

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Water ???
Paul will know what I am talking about here .
We discribe a job in cans of beer .
1 cubic yard takes 2 cans to move .
So with a 6pack I should be able to move 3 cy .
To dig a new fence post takes 1/2 a 6 pack . lol
By the way I don't drink BEER Anymore .

I used 11 bags of mulch this year. I'm glad I did cause I have alot less weeding to do. I don't envy that pile of mulch. To move that much here would not be worth the effort. I live on a hill and I would never take the mulch downhill, always up hill. lol. Learned that the hard way with dirt. Several weeks it took to move a pile smaller than your pile of mulch.

Red, can't wait!!

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Just going through my files .

We call these the ' Stairway to Heaven '
It used to be a dirt track a few years ago .
Takes anything from 2 to 10 minutes to walk to the top .
And I generally do it 40 times a day to set each one up for safety .
All the young ones I take them down my self .
As I carry all the safety gear on my belt .

Great view!! Do you have a scanner? You can then just scan the pics then post them. I have a printer that has a scanner along with a few other features and it comes in handy. I don't know what I would do without a scanner.

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

No Pep , I dont have a scanner .
I just take a Pic of the photograph .
Then I always have it on the puter .
Just not as clear .
I think OH has one at School .
Might see if she will scan some of them .
And put them on the memory stick .
Good idea Pep .

Livermore, CA(Zone 9b)

WOW - those are awesome Ginger! So pretty, I love the view from the top of the stairs...

I can't believe how many times you go up those stairs !! .... Those rocks look alot like some we have here, are they clayish?

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

No Red , They are sandstone Cliffs .
100 years ago this was a quarry to get sandstone blocks from .
The Brisbane City Hall was built from stones quarried from this spot .

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

We have mostly Limestone here in MO.

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Bottom 1/3 of the steps .
They rise 100 ft .

Those stairs would kill me. lol. I can walk/hike miles but stairs? Can barely handle all the stairs I deal with everyday! lol. Going down is easy but going up in nowhere easy. lol

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Is Limestone very soft ?
Today I have moved 40 more barrow loads of mulch .
Garden looking good . But the Big load still seems to be all there .

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

Yes, limestone is soft rock. They use it as gravel here and instead of sinking into the roadbed to help firm it up it turns into dust.

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

We have a mountain here made of pumice stone .
After big boulders started falling off ,
The National Parks and Wild Life Services closed the Park completely .
It was / is Called Crook Neck .

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

Ah, the infamous pumice. Used to rub the dead skin off the bottoms of hands and feet.

Brisvegas, Australia(Zone 12b)

Thats the stuff .
As we were climbing this 1200 ft Mountain .
Big chunks of the good stuff would fall off in our hands .
Quite scary at times with many climbers below us .

KC Metro area, MO(Zone 6a)

I bet it was.
