This has been the worst summer I can ever remember. The heat and drought have taken a toll on our plants, trees, and yards. I have never seen so many trees and plants dying from lack of rain.
In May, I received a call from a neighbor, Lynda Butler, asking for help with the power outages that she has experienced this year. Power outages have been an exasperating issue in my 30+ years in this neighborhood. I said it is time to do something! Therefore, I called Entergy and asked if they would meet with our W/PP Civic Association at our May meeting, and they sent six top members. We discussed our issues that have been going on for years! The next day Entergy trucks and ABC Tree Company trucks were in the neighborhood. They trimmed trees, vines, and brush for several months and added new poles in several locations. Thankfully our power has not gone out since this work!
Fall is here, let's get ready for our Halloween judging on October 29th. Our wonderful luminary display, hot chocolate stands, and Santa's ride will be on December 17th. Let's make this year the best!
Wishing you and your family a safe and peaceful holiday season.
