Landscaping




I was not going to grumble this week but really! We are paying for landscaping. The plants around the clubhouse entrance are foliage plants selected for their variety of leaf shapes and shades of green. The walking irises were hacked and butchered. No more graceful leaves and seedpods – horrid, why? Dead leaves could be removed by hand although there were hardly any before the hacking.
Most of the coconuts were removed a couple of weeks ago, ostensibly to prevent them falling on your heads. However, some of the highest nuts were left, those that could actually hurt you or your windshield, eh! we don’t have a ladder for those. Photo Dover yesterday.
Haverhill entrance will look much better soon, then we can have an after pic.

Coconuts from Palm Trees are a way of life in Florida. If these things bother you , why do you stay in Florida?

Thanks very much for the pictures! I think we have two issues here: the dirty "bricks and mortar" at the Haverhill Gate that Larry K. has assured us UCO will clean up soon, and the best types of trees and plants for our changing climate in South Florida.

That’s ok, Anon didn’t know it was irony. Its hard to do irony on the blog, and I will not try to unravel it except to say, I am the most pro-coconut person in CV and I really miss my daily coconut juice now that the low hanging fruit has been removed (“for your safety” by UCO.)

I'll second that. Elaine is the most pro-coconutty person I have ever met! She is a pro-nature gal all the way and that's a fact!
