To all who knew Fred Ricker and the Ricker family (previously of Evergreen Meadows- 129 Balch Springs Circle), I am sad to report that Fred was killed this week in an automobile accident near La Plata, NM (where the family had moved approximately two years ago).

Below is the newspaper article about Fred’s accident and the obituary.

Reminder

COMMUNITY YARD SALE
SATURDAY JULY 21st
8AM - 12PM

A quick neighborhood walk, the first thing that becomes apparent is how many of our trees are stressed by the dry conditions. While brown grass will recover in few weeks or months, a stressed or dead tree will take years to recover or replace. And, trees are not cheap to replace. A few gallons of strategically placed water can make the difference.

Slow watering is best for young trees. A bucket with a small drilled hole or a watering bag with few gallons 2 or 3 times a week can make all the difference. While watering bags can cost $20 or more and drilling a hole in your favorite bucket seems like a waste of a bucket, there are alternatives. A hole drilled in bottom a empty bucket used to package kitty litter is great solution.
