Sunny March
A Continuing Publication in Solaridge Cluster
March 14, 2007
A happy and sunny spring to everyone! My crocus have been out for two weeks now, and the daffodils are just about to pop, it’s a beautiful time of year, eh? I’ve had my road bike out for a short run, and it’s almost time for some real riding.
A special thanks to everyone who has been burning their pole lamps at night. That gives our cluster a friendly, welcoming look. And it’s also important, since they serve as our street lights. If yours isn’t on a timer or photocell yet, please consider doing it, so it always lights up – whether you’re home or not.
We’ll be holding the Annual Members Meeting on Tuesday, April 10, at 7:30pm in Meeting Room 1 at the Reston Regional Library. Come by and discuss cluster business, meet your neighbors, and do a little visiting – sound like a plan? Of course, monthly business meetings are usually the second Monday at 7:30 at my house, and the board extends an invitation to everyone to come with any ideas and concerns you may have. Send an email and verify that we’ve not moved it, eh?
And how about a cluster cleanup day the Saturday before the meeting? Our streets are always so grimy and gritty by spring, from the winter’s sanding, and it sometimes takes all summer for things to wash away and the streets to look good again. So let’s get out there on Saturday, April 7, with our push brooms and dustbins, and give our streets a good sweeping. See you out there! And anyone who’s really industrious can help clean up near the cluster entrances.
Just one other thing, it’s almost time to worry about mosquitoes. These things can breed in just a tiny bit of water, so it’s important to eliminate all the little puddles. Suggestions: check your gutters for leaves and debris which can cause standing water, turn your concrete downspout trays so that the lip is on the upper side and they drain out completely, and don’t use any trays or saucers under your outdoor plants this year. That should keep the skeeters down, thanks.
Remember now, for a good time -- Tuesday, April 10, at the Library, mark that calendar!
