The Trees. When we bought our Mitchells Island property, the real estate agent told us we could collect pine cones from the trees and sell them. (Okay, and Santa is coming soon too?) The Trees have been a nuisance, have supported 20 foot high lantana growth, have cost us time and money, have created erosion where they have been taken out.

But now, we seem to have a workable plan, as being demonstrated by Rick hauling logs and our neighbour Trevor sawing and moving the felled logs with his little bobcat.

Keep your fingers crossed!
