Hello everyone,
With the coming of June the hot weather is definitely upon us. We remain in drought conditions and have to abide by the watering restrictions that are ongoing this time of year. I hope the information that I have passed along in my last two emails has been helpful.
Also, the snakes are back. We found a diamond back in our neighbors back yard over the weekend. Please keep your lawns mowed as these snakes do love to hide amongst the tall grass and are not easy to see.
Cotton-mouths are also out in large numbers, if you live around property that has a pond please be very cautious, especially letting your children near the water. These snakes are venomous and can cause serious problems.
I have some great news. We are having a Florida-Friendly Landscaping event at the clubhouse in September. There will be guest speakers, and plenty of information that can be helpful to all of us. There will be more information on this not only in the LO newsletter but also in the Pipeline as the day of the event approaches.
Some information that I was given by an employee of Pasco County extension services regarding carpet grass. If you dissolve 2 cups of Arm and Hammer powder laundry soap in a gal of water, then put that into a spray bottle. You can use this on your grass where you have problems with carpet grass.
I have included attachments - pages 1-3 for the Architectural request form. I hope that all of you will download this and keep it for any outside work that you may be doing. Please remember any outside work done to your property or your home must have one of these forms completed and submitted for approval.
I hope you all have a fantastic week. Stay cool..........~.~)

I would like to say something positive about what I see in L.O. Much appreciation for the landscaping crews that have been working everyday at getting the shrubs and trees pruned back and the new mulch spread. As I walk my dog along the sidewalk twice daily, I really have noticed a positive change to the grounds and I want to say thanks to all that were instrumental in getting rid of the old landscaping firm and bringing in the new!

Regarding "Fireworks" I don't want to be a party poo pooper but when I find bottle rocks on the roof of my house and all over my yard, it makes me stop and think of my house starting on fire. All it takes is one to go directly into one of the vents on our roofs. I believe we should leave the "fireworks" to the professionals and we will all be able to enjoy the Holiday.
How can we do that???
I mentioned it last year after the fourth of July that we need to stop the sale of fireworks on every street corner in Pasco county etc. It's all for our own safety of our families, friends and neighbors. We need help and idea's to get this done in LO.
Also, thanks for the non-bashing e-mails. It's a relief to just read good info.
Thanks

Incoming news reports two teen agers, 18 and 19 years of age were arrested for vehicle burglaries in Meadow Pointe Community. They have been allegedly connected to the vehicle burglaries committed in April and May. There is a possibility they might have been connected to some of our in Lexington Oaks. It was also reported, the vehicles burglarized were un-locled and ready for the taking. As a reminder, please try to remember to lock your vehicle doors and mainly, remembering to shut your garage doors before turning in at night. Don't make it easy for the bad guys. These vehicle burglaries took place at 4:00 A.M. in the morning.
Thank You, Sam Fulciniti, Pres.

Hello,
I don't know if this email will help or not. My wife and I were driving home today and from out of nowhere a red ford lightning came up behind us, passed on our right as we were rounding the rotary and almost ran into a truck of workers and had to cut back in front of us so he would not. After this idiot did this, he proceeded to speed up and was out of sight in a matter of seconds. I have seen so many emails about the speeding in this neighborhood and apparently it does not do any good. If a child would have been riding a bicycle he would have been killed.
