My Jewish Brethren

I wrote a blog this morning, a long blog, about the problem that the Obama Administration is having with Israel. For some reason I lost my connection with the Internet and lost my work. For a moment, I thought it was because, I was being a bit harsh with our Jewish brethren, but it couldn't be that, could it.

I was listening to the news this morning and the actor John Voight appeared on the TV, he was ripping President Obama about not protecting America and Israeli's from radical Islam. That Obama was setting the world up for another holocaust, if we didn't watch out. He went on for some time about how it was America's responsibility to basically put the Muslim's in there place.

Right now the Israelis are building housing on disputed land, that had before been Palestinian territory. The Obama administration has asked Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu's to stop this practice and come to the table and set up a two state solution . This would provide land for a Palestinian and Israeli state. Something that would for now, make both side of this mess happy.

It seems though, that Israel is going to keep building. Probably until they have accomplished their goals, for their people to take over this land. Then they'll come to the bargaining table and split the land . By then, they will have already moved their people onto this disputed land, they will claim ignorance that this land was ever in dispute, and then claim-- 'lets just go from here, were already on this land and were not moving'. It doesn't seem fair but what can the Palenstians or American's do, were in their pocket.

Lets talk about pruning, I just sign on a new client, a couple from New Jersey who just moved to Atlanta. They've bought themselves a find home but they have a severely overgrown landscape. At one time this was a very expensive design and installation. Now though it's a overgrown mess that needs to be reigned in. When surveying your own landscape people should being looking if they are walking around bushes growing out into their egress, or are ducking under branches from trees that have drooping branches. You should not be doing that. Also you should see if bushes are hiding other shrubs that are behind them. That's not the way it was suppose to be .

When the designer and landscape personnel installed the landscape they were counting on the homeowners, 'maintaining' the landscape. Huge problem. I've seen excellent landscapes installed only to go to the garbage because the homeowner never maintained it. Stuff grows people. grass and weeds are going to appear even if you do put down landscape fabric. Prune your shrubs, cut back low hanging branches on your trees, so you don't have to duck to walk through your property. And spread "Preen" a weed prevention granular that kills weeds. It isn't that hard.
