October was a busy month for us, we had: new street, wider driveways and new trees put in place.

Part of our condo’s purchase contract called repaving the
street and to widen our driveways.
The developer finally came through on his promise in the second week of
October. It sure is nice to be able to
park both cars side by side.

Last summer I (Cece) accepted the position of Landscape
Chair for our Home Owners Association.
My first big project involved picking out trees for our condos and
choosing a landscaper to install them.
After much research I chose Eastern Redbuds and River Birch. Both are native to this area, and will remain
small enough to fit within our limited space.
All well and good, but drought, and heat caused us to postpone planting
until October. As luck would have it,
the landscapers were only available the last week of October… right when
Bruce’s cousins were here. Needless to
say I did a fair amount of multi-tasking to make sure that all the new trees
and shrubs were made it to their intended
location. In the end, it all
worked out well, the entire neighborhood looks A LOT better.
