Want to give a plug to my brother and his business partner. They own Clear Choice Window Cleaning and are getting great reviews on their work!

Rain…
So far we’ve had 8 inches since Thursday. My towering Esperanza’s are drooping from the weight of the water, I go out and shake them off every so often so they won’t break. The rain has perked up plants that seemed to be on their way out and is feeding the dry earth and hopefully […]
