FIREWORKS PROHIBITION<br />

IN THE DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />

The Board asks that residents refrain from celebrating holidays with the<br />

use of fireworks and fireworks display. This not only poses a nuisance and<br />

disturbance to your neighbors, it also leaves a messy aftermath to be<br />

cleaned up. Thank you for helping to keep <strong>Westheimer</strong> <strong>Lakes</strong> community<br />

fireworks free!<br />

REPORT IT!!!<br />

If you witness any suspicious behavior around the community please<br />

contact the local authorities immediately at the non-emergency number<br />

281-341-4665.<br />

GOLF BALLS<br />

Hitting golf balls is meant for the golf course only. It can cause damage<br />

not only to personal property but to people as well. Please respect your<br />

neighbors and refrain from hitting golf balls inside the community.<br />

BASKETBALL GOALS<br />

Basketball is a fun sport that many like to play. As a reminder, please<br />

make sure that all basketball goals are kept in an upright position in your<br />

driveway. Basketball goals should not be left in the street at anytime or<br />

left on the side of your home when not in use. Leaving Basketball goals<br />

in the street can be a nuisance to drivers in the community and a hazard<br />

should there be a need for an emergency vehicle to gain access to your<br />

street. Please note this is also a violation of deed restrictions and if you<br />

receive violation letters regarding this matter you could be sent to the<br />

attorney and be liable for those charges.<br />

JUNE IS NATIONAL CAMPING MONTH<br />

National Camping Month in <strong>June</strong> is an excellent time to pack up your gear and experience nature. Whether<br />

you like roughing it or prefer to have a few modern conveniences when heading out to the trail, it’s<br />

important to keep a few things in mind:<br />

1. Make sure you have plenty of fresh water or a fresh water source.<br />

2. Take a first aid kit and that it is stocked.<br />

3. Pack waterproof matches.<br />

4. Take non-perishable food such as granola bars, jerky, peanut butter, chocolate bars and dried fruits,<br />

especially if you are not taking a cooler.<br />

5. Pack fruits, vegetables and meats separately and keep chilled in a cooler.<br />

6. Include sunblock, even for cloudy days.<br />

7. Rain gear, jackets and blankets are necessary for cooler weather.<br />

Around the country, there are a variety of campsites available. The more modern campsite includes showers<br />

and recreational facilities. These often include water hookups and parking pads for RVs and campers and<br />

cabins to rent as well as more primitive sites with no electrical hookups designed for tent usage. Other<br />

parks only allow primitive camping and require everything you pack into the park to be packed out. So,<br />

seriously consider your needs if you are hiking into the park for your stay. These are not for the glampers.<br />

Gather family and friends, don’t forget the s’mores supply and go camping! Nature is calling and there are<br />

so many ways to enjoy a weekend or even more camping. National Camping Month has been observed<br />

since the 1970s. Source: https://nationaldaycalendar.com<br />

WHAT’S THAT<br />

NET ON MY<br />

TREE TRUNK?<br />

By Deborah Birge, Fort<br />

Bend County Master<br />

Gardener<br />

If you see a net over<br />

your tree trunk, you’re<br />

the lucky winner of<br />

the Bark Lice Lottery!<br />

Bark lice are small,<br />

soft-bodied insects<br />

that live on hardwood<br />

trees, especially Live<br />

Oaks and sometimes<br />

on Pecans. Their<br />

webbing appears in<br />

midsummer and can<br />

cover a tree trunk and<br />

large branches very<br />

quickly. But don’t be<br />

alarmed - bark lice<br />

are a great clean-up crew feeding on fungi, bacteria, dead insects and<br />

lichens!<br />

Although some people think they’re unsightly, bark lice are highly<br />

beneficial and should be left alone. With the first fall frosts, they’ll begin<br />

to decline, along with their web.<br />

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT EARTH-KIND® LANDSCAPING?<br />

It’s about conserving water, reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, reducing<br />

landscape waste and more! Visit https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu for<br />

information about this environmentally-friendly landscaping technique.<br />

GARDEN TIPS FOR JUNE<br />

Lawns: Apply iron sulfate or chelete to St. Augustine grass lawns.<br />

• Mow St. Augustine to a 2-inch height now to protect roots from the sun.<br />

Never cut off more than a third of the leaf.<br />

• Continue treatment of lawns for chinch bug. As the temperature hits 80<br />

degrees, chinch bugs begin to reproduce in the hottest and driest part<br />

of the lawn, usually next to cement. Use diazinon or dursban granules.<br />

Flowers: Overwatered hibiscus, purslane and bougainvillea won’t bloom.<br />

• Keep flowers pinched off of coleus and caladiums to encourage more of<br />

the beautiful foliage.<br />

• Plants to set: Acalpha, Ageratum, Alternathera, Aspidistra, Artemisia,<br />

Balsam, Begonia, Chrysanthemum, Cockscomb, Coleus, Croton, Dusty<br />

Miller, Feverfew, Gaillardia, Geranium, Marigold, Petunia, Pinks, Portulaca,<br />

Salvia-red, Shrimp Plant, Torenia, Verbena and Vinca.<br />

Vegetables: A strong blast of water in the morning rids plants of most<br />

bugs for the rest of the day.<br />

• Vegetables to plant: Cantaloupe, Sweet Corn, Cucumber, Eggplant sets,<br />

Okra, Black Peas, Pepper Sets, Summer Squash and Sweet Potato.<br />

Shrubs: Watch Camellias and Azaleas, they’re setting their blooms now<br />

for next season. So give them a good mulch and plenty of water. Mulch<br />

well with oak leaves and/or pine needles to keep soil acidic. Benefits of<br />

Mulching: Mulching (organic or inorganic) is a layer of material on the<br />

surface of the soil around the plant. Mulches conserve water by reducing<br />

evaporation, insulates the soil and protects it from the drying wind and<br />

hot sun. Mulches break the force of rain and irrigation water and tend to<br />

prevent erosion, soil compaction, and crusting. Lastly, a 2-3 inch layer of<br />

mulch will almost eliminate weed problems.<br />
