Trees

I was at Linwood Park and noticed the trees that they so meticulously planted at taxpayer expense in the last couple of years. They must have some flaw in their plan, in that, when the summers are dry, they don't water the trees and thus have to replace them the next year. You'd think that the park board could send some interns out and splash some water on the expensive trees and keep them alive through the droughts. That's just my opinion and I could be wrong.

These are recently planted trees on park land. Only one is completely stone dead.


Enough ranting. It was a beautiful day, about eighty degrees, and I played some tennis again today. There was wind, but we played on the sheltered courts at Marie and it went pretty well. The evening mellowed into a sweet twilight and a very beautiful pastel sky at sunset. One of the top ten days of the year without much doubt.

The Prairie Princess will be driving home tomorrow for the Independence Day holiday. The weather creatures are predicting pleasant weather for the weekend.

Wimby is down to semifinal action. The men played today. Federer and Nadal are still in the action and are likely to meet for the championship this weekend. I hate to pick against the five time defending champion, but I still like Raffy.
