Happy New Year!

 
















I know it's the dead of winter but the spring
bloomers are coming up and starting to bud
and bloom.

Does Anyone Know These People or Vehicle?


 







Yes, our cameras work!  We have 6 videos
on what they were doing.  The east resident
from our home also have cameras so they
too should have video of them in their pink 
recycle bin.

This is what we caught on our cameras 
12/9/2025-2:50 am to 3:29 am, then
headed north into Westmoor 2 when 
leaving our area.

As we watch this vehicle cruise the
hood before coming down to go though 
recycle bins.  Sorry no recycle bottles,
cans or pop bottles will be found in 
our recycle bin.

Yes, this was reported. We will be 
turning on the sirens that come with
our cameras.

As stated in VMC 6.12.216, scavenging
of recyclables (or solid waste) is against
the law. A person must ask the homeowner 
for permission before removing recyclables 
from a container. If you see someone taking 
recyclables, please call 3-1-1 and report it 
as a "theft of recyclables." If the person
is using a vehicle, please write down the 
license plate number and a description 
of the vehicle. Always exercise caution 
and consider your personal safety. Do not 
confront the individual.

December Shinning!

 











Just half way done!  Shine On!!


























































We currently have 2,000 LED solar lights on 
the house.  

This evening around 5 pm I was checking to
see if all the lights were on and looked to 
the east to see the red, white and blue light
from one of the planes coming in.  The 
flight path is usually north of us a few 
blocks but this plane wasn't on the path
as it flew right over the house!  Love it!!

With the storm coming in for the next
few days the lights will be faint or not
at all!  Got to love the solar lights!

If You Use Hotmail

 And you are getting spam emails, you
can check for information by.











3 dots







Opening the email, find the 3 dots on
the right side and click on the dots.
Which opens this screen.  Click on
the view message source, that opens



















The message source and you can find
the IP addresses that were used.

Then you can use an IP address source
online to find out their information.

Don't just delete these emails, do the block 
and report phishing scams, you also have a
chance too to report if these are threatening.

That area can be found under the screen after
you click on the  3 dots under report.  Open
the report button and click on concern.

The past weeks I am seeing the same IP
address over and over again.  I've even have
some new rules made but finding it doesn't
stop them when they just change a letter or two.
I just keep recording and adding them to the
rules. 

Most of them use Microsoft to spam!

West Fence Line!


 









The above photos are from early fall when I had
cut the hostas down.

Here is what it looks like today, 11/19/2025




















I have been working hard to prepare and cleanup
the yard for winter!

Getting Ready For Winter

 

Before photo:








After:





I spent all day outside cleaning up 
along the north fence line.  Stripping
plants leaves and cleaning up the 
leaves that come out of the north
tree.  While vacing up at 4 pm the
smell of smoke was strong.  I finished
and went in as again no one should have
to smell firepit smoke!  Funny how fast 
it stopped!

Still a lot to strip and cleanup.

11/13/20025

As of today we have taken 3-64 gallon
bins of leaves off our property of mulched
leaves that have blown into our yard. They 
are a mix of leaves and evergreens so the 
county's leaf coupon isn't helping us due 
to they only want leaves no evergreen mix.
No we will not compost these, to acidy.
Hopefully after our bins will be emptied
on Monday we can start on ours that need
to fill our bins.  We have 3 cans for our stuff
full already.

11/21/2025

As of today we have now taken 5-64 gallon 
yard debris bins off our yard.  Yesterday was
my day to vac the whole yard again to clean
all the leaves that have blown in from the last
east winds.

 Will go down as another step on the path 
of life.  Surgery went well and we now know
just how bad my heart is from all the stress. 

Walk a mile in my shoes before you
lie about me!

I can't wait to talk about this journey!

2025 Time To Put Halloween Away

 Sort of





















It has been suggested I use the 
Ghost Girl as the Ghost of Christmas
past?

Left my smaller Skelly in the
cement pot out with red lights
and the bee arbor with the blue
lights.  

I want to thank the Dad that 
brought his daughter trick or
treating last night.  Glad they 
love how we decorated!

It was a 4 vac bag day plus one
dead raccoon!  It just took 2 hours to 
bag it all up.

I was asked why I vac up every day?
Keeping the property free of mold is the
key here.  If you have allergies to mold
you would understand.  Also while doing
so I can get seeds and those bugs vac to 
save from having to spray! This past year
we have had to use 4 bottles of Round up.
Yes, that many weeds and we have never
had this many weeds.  You can watch these
seeds float all over the neighborhood due to 
neighbors that don't care for their yards.

Got To Love Her Blooms

 

















































Isn't she just breath taking!


Another Weekend of Storms

 They started today and they say three
back to back storms and extremely
high winds!  Our yard is trashed.
When it dries out some I'll be cleaning
it up!  

Sat. afternoon we had to put the tarp 
back on the greenhouse and hoop house
and again had to retry it down.

Monday after my morning appt.
I was able to get back to the picking
up leaves.  13 3/4 bags were taken 
off the back yard for the past 7 
days, none were from our trees.
With 6 taken off the front
yard and street.  Our trees in our
yard close to the curb have yet
to drop all their leaves. A majority
is leaves that have blown into our
yard from neighboring trees.

10/19/2025---Sunday Storm/Wind

 The morning kept me inside doing
the stripping but the minute we got
a bit of sun it was time to go out
and pick up what had come down
overnight with the rain.

Before:











It took two trips but 45 minutes 
later is was done!  2 bags of 
mulched maple leaves were 
taken off the north yard.



Tropical Hibiscus

 Today was the day to start the stripping
process due to the cutting back on the 
watering and the leaves were starting
to turn yellow!  That I do is take the 
larger thicker outside leaves off and 
clean all the maple leaves out of it.

Before:


















This is the sign to start stripping 
process.


















After 2 hours of stripping:


















I have a few more to go but I'll need 
the ladder to reach them

10/13/2025 Last Plant Is Inside!!

 











Now to strip her!

The heaters have been placed in
the greenhouses and all is well 
and I can rest up for the next journey.

Had to move it to the other side of the
room!

A Great Day!

 To dance in the rain!

To sing a song!

To Walk the walk.

To Talk the talk.

Wed. Project

 Went to clean up under the trees on the 
north fence line that I couldn't cleanup
until Wed.  Stuff is still dropping out
of the trees and the whole north side of 
our property.  Again due to climate change
we are seeing evergreen trees dying.  I 
took 12 1/2 pickle buckets off the garden 
bed!  There is more in the grass but 
they can't be vac up.  We have evergreen
sprigs all over the place!  Still coming
down!!  
























































I have vac up this area and there is no way to get
it all cleaned out.




















I had to rake this area 4 times to get
most of the stuff up.  All I can say is
it's smothering the plants we have planted
here in the two beds.  I won't water
this area anymore due to the roots 
from the other trees.
