not too long ago (well, it was mid-April) I watched a crew take down one of elms up the street…

in the Fall they had taken another one down close by…

last week Hydro came and marked gas lines and left yellow flags in front of two houses next to me…

this morning I watched as a number of pieces of equipment came by… the first dug two holes on the boulevard and went away… a little while later another few trucks came and planted a tree in each of the holes… then a protective barrier went around the bottom of each of them…

it will be interesting to see if they will come and water them until they get established…

not quite sure what type of tree they are but very happy that the elms have been replaced;-)…

mad…

yesterday I got this package in my mailbox…

so this morning, I rushed around the kitchen thinking I needed to get the sample put outside before I left the house… because… they were picking it up in 24 to 48 hours…

as I read the directions I spotted this small notice in the corner of the sheet…

the colouring had me thinking that it was from the city and it wasn’t until I read it thoroughly that I realized it was an attempt to get my information and try to sell me a water purification system…

kind of made me mad…

lights…

big girl pants, city, George, laugh, lights, radio, synchronization

recently heard a report on the radio about synchronization of the street lights in the city…

this was one of George’s pet peeves and he often commented on how the lights were out of kilter…

  
the commentators talked about the fact that our lights have never been synchronized…. apparently they will be by December, 2016… we are one of the last cities to make this happen…

made me laugh because George assumed they were on a system but just never worked right…

bet he’s chuckling over this, lol…
