Fall Clean-up, Water Invoices, and Kia Comes Home

One makes you feel good.
One makes you say "ouch".
The last brings us peace.

First, the "ouch":  the latest water meter invoices for the residence, clubhouse and golf course irrigation are at the bottom of the page here.

Now to the feel good part.
About time we got rid of a 35+ year old--and dead--poplar tree before winter storms send it crashing down onto the road or the neighbour's shed.

And we certainly called the right contractor!

Within about an hour, he had the tree carefully dismantled and dropped.  And not a branch on the neighbour's driveway!

And some miscellaneous pics:

Last of the corn stalks are harvested at the Ranch...bet the drivers are all celebrating with a Tim's donut and coffee!

Hate--absolutely hate--black widow spiders.  This one was inside the blue Mini-Material B.C. recycling container.  YUK!

Sorry out of focus...this buck at the top of the course took off with his harem of four females.

And, saving the most important for last, our  Dear Kia  finally came home:

The golf course...where she belongs.
It feels good to have Kia home again.

Rest in peace, Dear Kia.
