Tree Trimming

 Our tree trimmers are here in force!  It was fascinating to watch these two machines at work.  Each is self driven from the bucket so they can go down both sides of the street at once.



Then there is a big 5 person crew following who pick up all the branches and sweep up most of the debris.


Then another crew follows behind with blowers and brooms to get the residual dust.


If you have time to watch a video of the trimming process, here it is.  They're young strong men doing the job but I can imagine how their shoulders and back must feel after 8 hour days of that work.  

The Weed Co people are here too spraying ALL the lots for weeds.  They do an excellent job as we noticed the lots across the street from us never had a single weed all summer.


The solar installaltion is finally nearing completion.  To make the final connections, they have had to close down different sections of the park while connecting.  Today all offices and admin buildings are closed with no electricity, phones, cash registers, etc so even the bistro is closed for the day.  This has been a huge installation project.  Let's hope it is worthy.

Our own landscape and maintenance personnel are busy busy busy with trimming, pruning, etc.  Getting ready for the snowbirds returned.  We watch a steady trickle of RVs arriving daily when we play cards in the Adobe room.  As we drive up Oasis and/or Granite, we notice more golf carts, cars, etc. and folks out "cleaning up" their yards.

P.S.  Congratulations to the Activities crew for the smooth distribution of season event tickets.  It was well organized and seamless.

I must take a personal moment to brag about my son and his recent art.  Congratulations on the sale, Anton (and Hannah).

Looks like they're discussing world issues.
Have a GREAT day!
