I don't think I was impressed with our green lawn (such as it was).<br /><br />Yeah, we have to put up with tree cutting here, although they have been using their brains a little more as of late.G.

I've seen trees planted, by the town, directly beneath the power lines. I mean, seriously? Great suburbia pictures, though. Kudos to your daughter for all her efforts earning those medals.

In order to do it properly, they wiped out four very large trees that were growing near the front end of the street. Four very large trees that were around ever since I was a little boy (some 40+ years or so).G. B.

And obviously very talented!<br /><br />There must be a hack 'n slash course involved in working for electricty companies because our neighbors just had their beautiful 100+ year old Maple hacked and slashed in the name of electricity wires. Of course, 90 percent of the removal had nothing to do with it. I think they just like playing with chain saws and cherry pickers!TALONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03205633556998220372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207035867368862778.post-6912756574481511092010-07-25T19:31:33.988-04:002010-07-25T19:31:33.988-04:00Joe: You're gonna hate me for this one.

I was sitting at picnic table that was about 50-100 feet away. Just pointed and clicked.<br /><br />I am very proud of my youngest one. She has all the talent in the family, which means she didn't get it from me. :DG. B.

And I do know it was in one of my web albums, so its safe to say that you got a very good memory.<br /><br />No, she doesn't do her practicing in the morning, but later in the afternoon. Right now, we're having a discussion about her either cutting back or dropping ice skating simply because there is no long term future in it, as opposed to dancing, which she truly loves to do.<br /><br />As for the deck, I have one of those in the web albums as well.<br /><br />Yes, the utility companies can be so "proactive" with their pruning. You do have the ability of appealing their decision, but because they simply stick a notice on the offending tree, most people don't see it until its too late to do anything about it.<br /><br />Lynn: Thanks. I've seen some fascinating reflections over the years, and I thought it would be good time to take a shot of one for posterity.<br /><br />I'm always proud of my children, no matter what their endeavors. So long as they do their best, in the long run, its all that really matters.G. B.

And, yes, I can see why both of those lovely places to sit could do a number on your butt and back over a certain length of time. But, where was the picture of the back deck where you do write? hmmmmm?<br />Adorable daughter. Do you have to get to the rink early in the morning before the hockey players show up, for her practices?<br />Lovely lawn, your neighbor has. I too have a glass ball in my garden.<br />I think because they remind me of marbles and I used to love to collect them, marbles, that is.<br />Sadly, before our utility company took an interest in overhanging branches we had an ice storm. The said branches caused MAJOR damage, loss of power for days, weeks in some cases. Now, they keep a careful eye on every tree near power lines. Of course, in expensive neighborhoods they put the lines under ground, thus keeping their trees in perfect shape. :)BeaBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05825249325749004937noreply@blogger.com
