Just a quick note

Good morning Folks ~ I know I’ve been missing for a bit, summer doldrums.

This will be short as I’ve got to get outside early to do a couple of things before a tree/hedge trimming crew get here. That palm tree that has been dropping fronds and spreading roots, will come down today. I called the local botanical gardens society and talked to the palm guy and Royal Palms aren’t worth anything now, unless you have a lot of them. No one wants them. I am tired of dealing with falling fronds, being startled as they hit the porch  or house roof, won’t have to worry about them falling on me or other’s vehicles. When they fall green they are very heavy. I have to deal with getting them off the roof, and then cutting them up to manageable size to take out front to be picked up by the county. Enough already. I’m not getting any younger.

Driveway looking south. I won’t miss this look or the falling fronds.

Looking north

I have been praying about dealing with the overhanging tree limbs from neighbor’s property, my own trees that need trimming and the hedge out front that needs the jasmine at both corners and some shrubs cut way down to a manageable height for me to deal with. I have been trimming what I can, as high as I can. Friends that give me a ride to Bible Study each week have a lawn/tree maintenance man who they deal with, do trade with, etc. and at no charge to me, that man and his crew are coming here this morning. What an answer to prayer. I’m nervous and excited at the same time. And oh so thankful. God hears are hearts cries.

So, later today I hope to take pictures of the new look. I will lose some shade, but at least it’s nearing the end of August.

Other bits and pieces of life later. I’ve got to eat and head on outside.
