Our older daughter took a trip to NOLA with some friends, so we were on chorkie duty all weekend. We took him up to the lake with our two terriers. He has been several times. The trick is that he has to ride in his kennel because he's a car barfer. So we loaded him up in the kennel, with our dogs in the second row, and hit the road.
When we pulled up to the lake house, we were surprised to see that the tallow trees we poisoned three weeks ago are already starting to die. An old family friend gave us this stuff to use because it just targets the tallow tree - doesn't kill any of the landscaping around it. So now it looks like these trees got an early start on fall foliage. I remembered to give our lake yard guy a heads up so he wouldn't think we had some sort of rot or wilt settling in. I'm looking forward to cutting down these trees over the winter so they can be replaced with some pretty new shrubs that aren't a sticky, shedding mess. Or have roots that would eventually wreak havoc with the house's slab and driveway.
The daughter parked her car here in our driveway on Thursday since she flew out of our local airport, so we had a chance to give her brand new Kia SUV a good look. The inside is really nice. It has all of the bells and whistles, plus lots of sensors to hopefully keep her from running into things.
