...murder in my neighborhood! There was a lovely thirty year old Flowering Pear tree in this front yard. Yesterday the tree and all of the landscape plants came down. Maybe they are going to xeriscape.
On the far left is a Coast Redwood in Mark-to-the-South's** yard. And next back is his lemon tree which supplies me with more lemons than I can find uses for. I don't think he uses them at all. Behind this house you can see the tops of the trees in the park - mostly redwood and deodar. All the trees are suffering from the drought and two of the crepe myrtle street trees are completely dead. The poor trees have as hard a time as the birds and animals.
** My neighbor on the north is also named Mark, but he isn't as nice as "Mark-to-the-South".
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. -John Kenneth Galbraith, economist (1908-2006)
