Haunted Lamp

The lamppost in front of my house had started looking like it could be the Addams family's lamp. It had no glass, dirty cobwebs, no bulb and was in obvious disrepair. So, Plexiglas was cut and frosted, a light bulb was installed and now it looks somewhat complete. There is no light from the bulb but that really doesn't matter. The picture doesn't do it justice as it is in the rain but you see where I'm going with this. It looks better - like life exists within. I'm getting estimates on tree removal and the dreaded sweet gum trees (see the comments after the article) with spindly balls and invasive roots will be removed in a couple weeks. I won't have to pick up balls or rake leaves from it this fall. I cannot wait! The tree is pretty but when the roots grow halfway back the house and through the foundation, it has to stop. I hope that removing the trees and stumps will stop this monster.

Ahhh if only topics stuck to Smalltown Life and Cats!
