Yard Maintenance

The tree company was here today to excise a tree that's been on its last legs (roots?) for a while now.  I'm guessing the tree lost a few roots the last time the drainage system had a rotor-rooter used on it.


Tree Removal

The Wright Tree Company

The Remains of the Day
I think this is a Minerva Hibiscus (Hibiscus syriacus ‘Minerva’), commonly called the bush behind the shed.  It adds a lot of color and pleasant ambiance to the neighborhood, even when it's not in full bloom.

Hibiscus



I have no idea what the HOA is planning to plant to replace the tree they just removed, but I'd like to see a Hibiscus growing there.

Security Warning

This report is on very good authority.  On June 6th at 2:20 AM on Julian/Jason Drive, a group of 5-6 teenagers were seen walking through the neighborhood looking for unlocked vehicles.  They make one pass through a parking lot with security cameras, and were recorded on video trying vehicle door handles, looking for an unlocked door.

One such attempt was recorded on video, triggered by a motion sensor.

Description of the teenager involved:
  • Hair: Black shoulder length braids.
  • Top: Dark blue or black hoodie.
  • Bottom: Blue denim jeans.
  • Shoes: White sneakers.
  • Age: 16-19.
  • Build: Tall and thin.
  • Race: Black.
  • Sex: Male

Please keep your vehicle locked, and if possible park your car or truck inside your garage, and remember to keep your garage door closed.
