Last Tuesday, August 13th, a crew arrived early and removed a large tree from our back patio that had been compromised by ants and decay.
This beautifully landscaped garden, supplemented by the gurgling of the mill stone fountain, just became even more relaxing.
Greetings!

LibraryReads
Every day we share books that we love with library visitors. Now, you can see top reading suggestions from librarians all around the country! It's like a nationwide library staff picks list. Each month, public librarians nominate new adult titles that they recommend and a top ten list is formulated.
Remember, the library is a happening place and your library card is your ticket to free books, magazines, music, movies, Internet access, enriching programs and much more!
Greetings!
