Ready or Not, Merry Christmas!

The tree is decorated. The shopping is done. This is as close to a Christmas card as I will get this year.

Now, on to the gift wrapping.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Last night I attended my Granddaughter's school play.  It was fun watching a bunch of middle school kids do their version of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.  For a few more photos, click here.

Music at the Farmer's Market

20111001_d300s_4796

A couple of weeks ago several of us went on a photowalk around the downtown Omaha area.  This young lady was among several musicians playing at the farmer's market.

A few more photos from the day are located here.

The New Light is Green!

P36

After a couple of decades, the underground wires feeding power to the yard light failed. This solar powered lamp is a nice looking solution that provides a bit of light without the need to install new underground wiring. The batteries charge during the day and power LEDs at night. Now, the pole looks shabby. Time for a coat of paint!

Roof Garden

This tree started growing a few years ago. It probably started as a
seed dropped by a bird. I wonder what the roots are doing to the
roof. -GS-

After the Storm Revisited - The New Tree

It took a few weeks, but a new tree has replaced the tree that had been uprooted in the recent storm.  The new tree is a bit over 10 feet tall but looks like it could have been one very small branch from the previous tree.  Of course, the old tree was planted over 25 years ago.  It will be a while before the new tree provides any shade.

In addition to replacing the tree, the landscapers installed a new brick edge around the rock beds.

After the Storm

This is what the tree looked like the day after the storm.  Later that evening a tree service removed it.  Here is a link to a few more photos. http://www.georgesphotos.net/Weather/2011-June-Storm-Damage/17698493_F2R9Kk
