Yesterday was a sad day for our immediate neighbors.
.
.
The row of willow trees that have graced the front of their property for more than 80 years…
.
.
Were deemed a nuisance to the power lines and cut down by the state.
.
.
As a rule willow trees don’t live that long but these were glorious and well cared for.
We will miss them.
😰

Squirrels.
Nature’s seed stealing acrobats.

My husband was thrilled when he received this red seal five dollar bill as change the other day. I made the mistake of asking why it was special but zoned out after the first 17 minutes of rambling explanation. Here’s a more succinct recap.
On June 4th, 1963 President Kennedy signed executive order 11110 which allowed the US government to make it’s own money and bypass the Federal Reserve. The 4+ billion dollars of United States Notes (backed by US gold and silver) were put in to circulation in denominations of $2 and $5. The $10’s and $20’s were printed but never released as he was assassinated and the program was shut down.
How thrilled was he?
The man actually ironed it.
