Birthday greetings to our good friend Calvin Wong today. Despite his advancing age 😁, Calvin's awesome length off the tee helped us to an even par score in the Scramble at Chippewa Creek yesterday. Incredible to watch!
Even more incredible, and you will have a hard time accepting this Barry, was Al's performance yesterday!
Each player in the foursome must have four drives counted. This leaves two more that can go to the best player. So, Al's drives on the first three holes were better than the rest of us. And we ended up using six of Al's drives, leaving Calvin, Matt and I scrambling to get our four drives in. Scary times!
I needed a drink after that (actually two) and celebrated with a Mardi.
Today, Kathryn and I did some weeding, etc. at the greenhouse.
You will notice the row of tall cedars in the background. They were dictated by the authorities to protect the neighbours from having to look at the greenhouse.
When they were planted, David continued the planting down the side and across the back of the neighbour's property. Unfortunately, the neighbours decided to drain their pool onto David's side of the fence. Consequently, over the years all died except the ones protected by the garage.
So, being the optimist, David planted some more to replace the dead ones. As you can see in the picture, they have died too. Time to give up?
That's why I have been planting the Oaks, Chestnut, etc. along the top of the hill. To add some beauty and block the view.
It took eight bags of red mulch to finish off this spot. But, not to worry, they're basically not saleable. The plastic is so brittle that almost all of the bags are split, or will split the minute you touch them.
Fortunately for me, unfortunately for David, there are a couple of skids of this stuff available for my use.

The Jays are losing to the Kansas City Royals 10 - 1. Can't stand it - going to bed!
Stay well.
