I really wanted to see the drone show and it was Arbor Daze so they were giving away free trees. Oaks too, I thought they were just giving Red Oaks but they also had Live Oaks. Now Live Oaks are kind of a pain in the ass of a tree, they don&#8217;t shed their leaves in the fall like normal trees, they do it in February through April. But, the tree I have in the front is a Live Oak, my neighbors tree is a Live Oak and if I did get a Red (or other) Oak, I would have the fall leaves AND the spring leaves. It&#8217;s a no win so we got the same tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drone show was interesting, I did like it. It doesn&#8217;t really compare to the explosions you get to witness with fireworks but it was neat. It&#8217;s not as instantaneous as you&#8217;d think as it takes time for the drones to align. Here&#8217;s what it looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"April 26, 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vxp_qKerKc4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wounded myself today doing the yard work.
