One thing I'm happy to see is the amount of green space we enjoy in McNaughten Village.  The trees and shrubbery are very easy on the eyes, and now some of the flowers are in bloom.

Iris

I think the irises are quite nice, and I'm glad to see them in bloom.  They may need a little propping up in the future.

To make the day even nicer, the weatherman is completely wrong about the weather yesterday and today.  I may go for a bike ride later on.

News: Latest Scam

The latest scam, if you believe the police department, is the old 'paint your house number on the curb' scam.  You'll find a flyer similar to the one in the picture on your door, follow the directions, and... nothing.

Flyer

Either the painter is using invisible paint, or (maybe more likely) the money is being collected but no work is being done.

McNaughten Village has a 'No Solicitors' sign at the entrance, and a zero tolerance policy prohibiting solicitation of any kind.  Should someone come to your door selling magazine subscriptions, at-risk youth candy, or government surplus number 2 pencils - don't open the door, don't invite them in, don't give them the time of day.  Close and lock your door, then call the police.

While there are legitimate services that will cheerfully paint you house number on the curb, if you see anyone in McNaughten Village painting numbers on the curbs, it will be because your condo association hired them to do so.

Have a nice day!

Although tomorrow is the onerous and despicable tax day (officially postponed until April 18th this year), the trees in McNaughten Village are in bloom, and I'm very glad to see it.

The lawn maintenance company is here today. It would appear that they lack supervision, but maybe they don't need any.

Mowing the Street to Make It Shorter

Trimming - Good Job!

Truck and Trailer

The lawn looks good to me.  If you have any comments, please don't hesitate to post them.

Human Interest - Spring!

Spring hasn't exactly sprung, but some of the trees and flowers are in bloom.

Daffodils

Enjoy them while they last.  The weather report says it's going to freeze tonight, which will be the end of all our nice flowers.

It's the lawn maintenance crew, and they are not digging for buried treasure. At least, that's what they told me.

Our McNaughten Village Director of Lawn, Gardens, and Grounds oversees the entire operation to ensure compliance.

He might look like an average worker to you, but he's actually in charge of Quality Assurance.

If you happen to see this trailer parked outside the lines, there's no need to worry. It's the lawn maintenance company getting ready for a long day tomorrow.
