Good morning everyone, I hope things are settling down back in blizzard territory. We're doing just fine here temperature-wise, high today should be around 77, tomorrow we break into the 80's for the next week or so.
We had yet another tree cut down yesterday, thanks to our local HOA. A few years ago we got dinged by the HOA for a large tree in our front yard that was continually dropping garbage on the sidewalk. We'd sweep it up in the morning and the sidewalk was dirty again by the afternoon. Rather than hassle with the HOA, we just had it cut down. We had another tree next to our driveway that was doing the same thing, dropping fine leaves all winter long, much to the dismay of our HOA. So we had it dispatched yesterday. We really do like trees, and these were really nice shade trees, but at our age, we just can't go out several times a day to sweep up after them just to keep our HOA happy. I wonder if we had put some sort of a diaper or upside-down umbrella under the tree to catch all the droppings, would that satisfy the HOA rules and regulations?
