PALMS
When you hear that, you may think of that Las Vegas casino owned by the Maloof brothers or some beautiful resort. But for us, we think of those five darn palm trees that leave their palm fronds all over our property. And it only gets worse when it's windy ... like it was Wednesday night.
When we woke up Thursday morning, there were over 25 palm fronds (huge ones, mind too) all over the place. They had landed all over our neighbors car, in their driveway and on their lawn, and all over the street. So, there I was, at 6:30 am all dressed and ready to go to work, pulling all the palm fronds off the street and off our neighbors property and onto ours. When I was done, our place was an absolute mess, but at least the neighbors woudn't get mad. I would just have to deal with that all when I got home.
But to our surprise, the City of Glendale finally did a good thing and took care of all the palm fronds for us. We were so greatful to find that all those palm fronds were gone.
Whew!
