Re: blowing petals

Dreadful noise at a neighbour's - landscape truck in front. Surely not a leaf blower in spring? Yes, one worker was cutting grass with a power mower that sounded quiet in comparison to the leaf blower being wielded by a second man. The huge asphalt driveway was covered in pink cherry petals so that no black was visible, except behind the blower. When the owners come home from work, they will have a lovely clean black driveway again. Now isn't that worth destroying the morning quiet for?

Hi Diana
This lack of appreciation bought back to my mind (after more than 50 years) a conversation between two women I caught while riding a bus in Nairobi. They were discussing the buying of new house and one was saying to another something like" of course we couldn't consider that one it had JACARANDAS up the drive -SO untidy!"
