The Fence is finished!

Hi guys
well, we are finally very proud to present the fence around melon's garden...a massive thanks again goes to Gippsland Treated Pine in Bairnsdale - Mick in particular, who has help us source everything you see, and pulled together some terrific instructions for pete to build it! 
It truly is just such a lovely space now...nice and closed in so we can really enjoy it. The flowers are blooming beautifully, the bulbine lillies, and the chocolate lillies are just gorgeous. All the paper daisies look terrific and the correas and pigface are just starting to kick on. A really nice place to be, and if you can, you are more than welcome to visit when you can...we would love to see you...
just contact eli-simpson@hotmail.com to let us know you are coming!
Father's day was difficult day for obvious reasons...we just hung around home, and pete finished the fence off in the afternoon. Our hearts go out to all the dad's who dont have their little ones to celebrate with. I dont mean that in a negative way...but i just wonder how all the mum's and dads out there cope with their 'day'. It should be a time of celebration, but it just isnt...very hard...but thats not to take away all those out there that have their children to celebrate with...hopefully all the poppets got a few more hugs and kisses than normal!
We are heading to light the night on Wednesday...we are absolutely looking forward to it..it should be fantastic, and by all accounts, the weather is looking good for us...if you cant make it...just take a bit of time to look at all the stars in the sky and think of all the people who have succumbed to cancer or leukaemia...and think of all the families and friends who have lost their loved ones, and for those who continue to support families through their treatment journey. Its a bloody tough gig...Book in for that long overdue 'blood donation', or give $5 to a charity. It really does all count.
Anyways...enjoy your week...and we will hopefully get some piccies up of light the night...should be a ripper...
luv and hugs

You cant see the full effect of the flowers, but they are 'bloomin' beautiful'!
Just the other side of the garden...we are so proud!
Another team "melonhead" member - Russell Broomhall...thanks russ for all your hard work! Next stop - Bacchus Marsh!
