Friday night Deck-Togethers were a summer highlight.
Enthusiastic thanks to hosts Kim and David Kenley!
What great turnouts for all three of the neighborhood Deck Togethers at the Kenley’s. It began in 2022 to celebrate the Kenley’s ivy-eating herd of goats, but it has grown into a summer tradition.
"Ladies Who Lunch" Paused in memory of Paula Cristofoli
TME Car Club Fall Event Sunday, October 22nd 4-5:30
This gathering has been paused in memory of Paula Cristofoli, who started the popular group several years ago. Paula passed away in March after a long battle with cancer. Her husband Gary has our deepest condolences. The group needs a new guiding light, so if you might have an interest, please contact Kim Kenley, who has stepped in termporarily. Kim.kenley@gmail.com

DOT has been asked again to repair our crumbling asphalt and pot holes
DOT did repair our storm drains in the past year, but they are still way behind on actual street repairs. We recently sent them photos of the newest pot holes on Brookview near the entrance. Knock wood, we'll get a crew over here soon.
How many homeowners does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer: Just one, when Bill Cartus lives in your neighborhood! When Bill heard the quote to install a new bulb in our entrance lighting, he morphed into Super Handyman. Faster than a speeding bullet, he got the bulb and installed it for a fraction of the cost.
Ask an arborist first.
Mailbox renovation time!
An arborist NOT connected to a tree service will provide unbiased guidance on tree health, growth expectations, recommendations for trimming, etc. They can save you a lot of grief and the cost is not that much. For a list of independent, certified arborists, email Bruce.
Have you actually looked at your mailbox lately? Chances are, it's tired or dirty or crooked. We hadn’t looked closely at our’s in probably 30 years. It was embarrasingly tired and faded, so we pressure washed it, repainted the lid, and added new street numbers. Night and day. Pressure wash companies per TME residents:Splash Power Cleaning (770) 374-8257 Wilson Pressure Wash - James (678) 368-3277
Attention neighborhood drivers in a hurry.
To get the attention of Terrell Mill Estate drivers in too much of a hurry to be careful, Cobb Police will be monitoring traffic. They'll be on the lookout for speeders and drivers who fail to come to a full stop at STOP signs. Imagine that. The police obviously can't be here all the time, but YOU can
Report from the Ivy Wars
The Bad News... Ivy up in trees makes them top-heavy and can bring down limbs or an entire tree.
The Good News... Getting ivy out of your trees is something you may be able to do yourself.
Ivy vines are deceivingly heavy. When the vines get up into trees, the vines that are encircling the limbs put a lot of extra weight on those limbs. They also make the tree top heavy and more prone to toppling. Some of our power outages are due to ivy-weighted limbs falling on power lines.
In a nutshell, cut the vines near the ground and the ivy growing up the tree and onto the limbs will die. Depending on how big your vines are, you'll likely need a hand saw or a lopper. There are some reecommended techniques, but it's a straightforward process. Georgia’s gardening expert, Walter Reeves, has a website Q & A on why ivy up in trees is bad and should be removed.
Ivy bites the dust on Timberland Dr.
This impressive ivy removal at 1221 Timberland Drive has been done gradually over 6 months. The ivy vines growing up into the trees were cut. The ivy snarl on the ground was taken out with a Weed Eater and follow-up spraying. Now, the vines on the trees are dying back and will eventually fall off. If you have questions for homeowner Najah Abukhdeir, feel free to email her.
