Christmas Trees @ Plum Creek Lake
Originally uploaded by seanclaes

In December... these were inside homes in the Plum Creek neighborhood of Kyle. This past weekend the Landscape Committee bundled up the trees... and by now they are sunk into the neighborhood's lake in order to create fish habitats.

Yes... we're a little big odd in Plum Creek... call us what you will... but I think we have more fun than most neighborhoods. We've got a HUGE party coming up in May, great neighbors, and lots of things to keep us engaged.

Here's a story on Plum Creek from March 5 - http://www.statesman.com/homes/new-homes-guide/residents-benefit-from-smart-planning-in-plum-creek-321873.html

Actually... if you want to hear about the future development of Plum Creek... you should go to tonight's joint session of the Kyle Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council meeting at 6:30 at city hall. I hear Plum Creek will be the only thing on the agenda. Neat.

This is one of the four Chirstmas Tree recycling points the the City of Kyle has set up. This one is at Waterleaf Park. Grab your dead tree and throw it here.... Much like a tip-jar at the bar... I think they put one in the fence to show what should be there.

Hopefully it'll fill up. I know the Plum Creek neighborhood also has a drop off point.. and they are going to dump the trees in the lake to create fish habitat.

Anyhow... here's a link to the places The City of Kyle has set up.. in case you're looking for a place to dump the tree:
