31 October 2023 Happy Halloween

[KathyB]

I just had an arborist come look at my tree, and the good news is that it's a mountain ash, not an ASH-ash, so it doesn't get emerald ash borer. The mountain ash is a completely different genus. He also said it seems to be doing pretty well for its age and the fact that it's growing up against a fence. So I'm happy about that. He is going to put together some numbers for pruning the tree, as I can't reach the dead wood. That should keep the HOA off my back for a while.

In other news, I plan to turn off my porchlight and watch the World Series tonight. Bernadette is going to be barking at the window at everyone passing by.
