How do you prove treatment? My mom had one on our property line, my guy told me that it is very obvious when the tree needs to be treated and when it is past that point.
I don't think I have to prove treatment but the letter says they have GPS coordinates so I suppose they can come back and check on occasion to see if it is dying.

Not exactly sure.

Spray some vinegar on it and say you treated, just don't get specific. Keep an eye on it and if it starts to die, then take it down. Drives me nuts that they make people cut down trees that are still completely healthy.

A couple of branches this year didn't get any leaves. Not sure if it is EAB or if it was due to the weird spring we had last year where it was so warm in early March and then the temperature dropped back to more normal temperatures for the next few weeks.

You can get someone to look at it probably. If you like the tree, it wouldn't cost much to have it inspected. Or buy time to plant another to get a little growth on a tree.


Got my christmas party thing going now. Me and Mrs.

Congratulations. We get invited to the reception?
No it's my cousin's wedding. It's at a catholic church so I've heard average of an hour long ceremony, but his fiancee said it would only be 30 minutes. Then there's going to be about 40-50 kids running around at the reception. His finacee also said that the kids will have some kind of designated area set up in the bar room, don't know what that means.

Have the kids running around in the bar? Well, if they all hit a few shots, it should make them manageable.

So, as we collegians limp to the end of the semester, kiddo has just a few days left of her last 2nd grade class.
She loves all the 3rd grade ones so far, and just for giggles, we're playing with a middle school Ancient Civilizations class. She loved the stuff in the pretest. I'm a little surprised they're spending so much time on latitude and longitude to get started, but she's into it.

Not all Catholic weddings are a full mass. And frankly, if they cut out a lot of the extraneous stuff like unity candle and soloists even a full mass wedding can go a lot quicker than an hour.

Do you suppose they will suspend the licenses of all of them at the same time so there are no options in town to buy the devil's drink?
No, it takes multiple violations to get a liquor license suspended. Plus, its's the bartenders/clerks that get hit with the $450 fine, not the businesses.

If they are like any other municipality it does get brought up when they renew their liquor license.
