I am just amazed at how often this cactus in front of 1703 has bloomed this year. Two more blossoms popped out overnight for viewing this morning and I’ll never tire of photographing them.
Speaking of flowers and plants…………I was over visiting with Lou Schurr this morning and spotted this unusual palm tree. It is called a ponytail palm. It has real long curly leaves….awesome!
We spotted a little “WHOOPS” as we were out on our rounds this morning. I haven’t heard the details of who, when, or how…..but it will add to the never ending list of repairs.
Ouch!!
I’m guessing that there had to be damage to whatever vehicle turned too short on that corner!
Speaking of EXPENSIVE repairs……………we were certainly sad to hear that Well #2 on the Palm Creek property will need very extensive repair. They have to pull up all the pipe (600-800) feet to fix the problem. There’s not enough room over at the well station so they’ve had to knock out a wall to get the big machinery in there. Then the pipe will have to be moved over to the softball parking area to be descaled, and then moved back again. Mr. Dawson certainly hopes it can be repaired quickly as it is sorely needed for reseeding the golf course. (this station is located in the corner lot between 416 and 417) I’ll try to get more photos as work progresses.
There are lots of new park models and village homes moving in these days. We happened to be present when the first half of 1328 was being parked. Thought you might enjoy a series of photos as it was moved into place. It’s amazing to watch as these drivers have to be extremely precise. Not much room to maneuver. He even had to pull in his rearview mirrors to make it past a palm tree. Fun to watch…..and I highly compliment their skills.
Two days later the whole street is completed with new homes.
Our weather is finally taming down. We still hit low triple digits almost daily, but the evenings and mornings are lovely in the 70s or 80s. What a relief!! I heard from some friends in Minnesota and Wisconsin who said they’ve already had their first frost so our park will be filling up soon as folks head for warmer climates….before the snows start to fall. We don’t see many rigs yet, but we can see more activity at the park model homes as people return and start to clean up the dirt and dust that is waiting for them. Mr. Maldonado is busy!
