Will It Ever End?

Oh, to wake up at 7 AM to the sound of an enormous jackhammer

digging up the street in front of one's house.

Melody Lane, the street that goes by the front of my house,

has to be dug up, courtesy of the fire department, so the

fire engines can turn around. Four beautiful trees had to

be cut down.

Removing a tree stump is such a messy job and noisy, noisy, noisy and more noise.

 

Cover up, Its going to rain. And Thanksgiving

is only four days away.  

Report From the Tree

Well I am still here in the middle of this courtyard buiding.

I don't look too bad considering I am surrounded by steel and

concrete.

This thing, I think it is called a crane, swings around over my

head dozens of times each day. I sure hope nothing is
dropped on me.

This may turn out to be a building after all.  The third story and that is high as it is

supposed to go. Too bad, only those living here will be able to see me.  I hope they

take good care of me.                                  

                                                                   I wonder whose home this will be?

Flowers that bloom in November----at Atherton

Many flowers bloom all year long at Atherton.

Here are some of them. This is a bed of salvia.

Some of the others are very beautiful. Here are birds

of paridise, lilies, Double Delight roses, and hibiscus.

  

It is wonderful to see these beautiful
things growing in the "fall and winter"
months.
