Arbor Day

It's a good thing there was plenty of shade, since it was getting warm; oh wait, there will be even more shade when the trees grow large! If you missed our Arbor Day celebration last Saturday at the south lake of Highland Groves, you will want to hear an update.

There were about 150 folks joining in, including the Mayor, pictured below with Bias For Action on the microphone:



There were demonstrations by the Rainbird folks on how to set and run personal irrigation systems in an efficient way. There was a ceremonial tree planting and an update on the thousands of trees already planted in Morrison Ranch, and plans for future planting - more shade is on the way...

Animals are always a hit with the kids, and the petting zoo was no exception:




What's a Ranch without horses? The pony ride was also pretty delightful:


Did you see the doughnut in the top picture? Basha's donated a ton of food, as well as putting up a banner proclaiming that their store in Lakeview Village would be opening June 30! That is much quicker than we anticipated; welcome news, indeed.

Thanks to Basha's and Rainbird and Waldron Farms and the Morrison Ranch HOA for donating goods; thanks to Fairco and MMM Landscaping for donating their time and expertise; and a big thanks to the folks in our office who planned and pulled it off - The Water Expert, The First Cousin, and our fearless leader, Bias For Action. See you all next year, perhaps at the Town Center Lake.
