At 7:30 am Friday, a crew from Vargas Tree Service came to remove four liquid amber trees from the front yard. For years we have enjoyed the beauty of these trees – the brilliant green in spring time, the bright red and orange as the weather turns cold, and then the Christmas lights outlining the branches of the multi-trunked specimen by the driveway. However, the sidewalks and even the driveway are loosing the battle against the brute force of the trees looking for water in a desert environment.
The city of Anaheim now and then grinds down the raised edges of various sidewalk sections and last year built a concrete ramp in one spot to allow pedestrian to pass our house without fear of tripping. And now the ramp is already cracked. We decided that the offending trees had to go.

But there was also new life at our house Friday morning. At 8:30 am, Mary and Julie arrived to clean house carrying a laundry basket holding a three week old kitten. It had been abandoned. Krystal had taken it home as a project for Nicole, but Nicole had other priorities. So Mary now is bottle feeding the kitten and carrying it around during her daily whirlwind of activities.
It was a beautiful day at 628 S. Shields Dr., Anaheim.
Man, I thought for sure you were going to adopt the kitten!
