What a busy time we have had at the Park so far this year<br />
so there are a LOT of photos</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Florence Bloom dam had a few pockets<br />
of hyacinth so they were cleared -- </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It needed to come out.</div>

We were winning but the rains we had been waiting for arrived --<br />
200mm in five days and Geoff asked us to concentrate<br />
on the verbena while the ground was soft.<br />

A lady runner was caught sawing through <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
the poles at the end of the re-surfaced lane!<br />
Apparently they slowed her running time down! <br />
A temporary repair was needed.<br />

<br />
****************<br />
So you can see how busy the last two months have been-<br />
and all very productive!<br />
<br />
All this could not have been done without the kind<br />
and very generous donations so many of you have given<br />
so I can employ the workers .<br />
Thank you all so much.<br />
