The big day has finally arrived and today is the start of our irrigation schedule for the summer of 2007.

The garden around the house is now slowly coming to life



And the house swallows are starting to build their nests in the bird house...they are amazing aerial acrobats.



But we didn't bother running the irrigation as there is a 70% chance of rain tomorrow.......

Still the grass in the pastures is now coming on in leaps and bounds so its time to start getting out there with the tractor and topping some of these pastures. Its the damned alpaca poop thats to blame even when you pick it up everyday the affect it has on grass growth is amazing.
