On Saturday, Aspen teamed up with Chrismas in October, Bank of America and MLB to install a new landscape at the new Veterans Clinic at 4251 Northern Ave. in Kansas City. A special thanks to all the Aspen Employess who volunteered their time for this special cause in giving back to our veterans who have given so much for us! Also a special thanks to Loma Vista Nursery who generously donated plant material for the project.
Here’s a way to save $$$ and the environment: Change the font in the documents you print. Different fonts require different amounts of ink to print. Tests show Century Gothic uses about 30% less ink than Arial. You could be buying new printer cartridges less often. However the greenest way to save on ink is not to print at all!!

On July 9th, Aspen Residential Account Manager Jeff Goldsby volunteered his time to the Leavenworth National Cemetary in partnership with other members of MAGICouncil to help cleanup and refresh the property. This is the 1st annual event and we hope to continue this "Day of remembrance" next July to remember all those that have paid the ultimate price to give us our freedom.
Rain Drops
Rain drops from the clouds and onto trees,
Down the tree trunks and off the leaves.
Down a mountain, into a brook,
Past a chipmunk in a nook.
Into a pond, off a log.
On top of a turtle and onto a frog.
Onto roads, onto the grass,
Onto trains and trucks that pass.
On top of bridges, cars and boats.
Even onto people’s coats.
Onto houses and my windowpane.
I just love to watch the drops,
The drips and drops of rain.
Keep an Eye on Beef Prices in the Grocery Store
Because of severe drought, 80% of Johnson County's corn crop is a loss. The loss to soy beans and sorghum is 60%. The drought is impacting the 2012 corn crop across the Midwest. Corn is used to feed cattle. Beef prices may take a short-term nose dive as farmers liquidate their supplies. Long-term, beef prices are expected to rise.

Well this is our second small rain shower in 1 week. At this point we will take what we can get. With these little rain showers we can sometimes feel like we can take it easy on the sprinklers for a day or two. This is not the case. Even with these little showers you should not change your irrigation settings. Our recommended settings for irrigation are:
5-6 days a week
Rotors: 30mins a zone
Sprays: 15mins a zone
If you have any questions about setting your irrigation feel free to give Aspen a call at 839-6135.
