sticker facing the street will be picked up. Bills will be mailed quarterly<br />
and there will be a new colored sticker that will come in the mail after<br />
the bill has been paid. Trash bags left at the curb without a trash can<br />

DO YOU WANT AN AMERICAN FLAG???<br />
The band students of Cy Falls HS can place a flag in your yard 5 times a<br />
year for only $40. This is a great way to show your American Pride while<br />
supporting the Mighty Eagle Band. You can pay online or mail a check.<br />
Please see the flier and scan the QR code for more information. Are you<br />
envious of those neighbors that already get flags? Have you noticed<br />
the three flags at neighborhood entrance off of Telge? You too can get<br />
your own. Go to www.cypressfallsband.org/band-boosters/flags-withpride<br />
or email flagswithpride@cypressfalls.org or call 281-961-6564 for<br />
information.<br />
INSPECTION DRIVES<br />
Let’s keep the neighborhood looking nice. Please maintain regular<br />
mowing, maintenance of yards and flowerbeds, mold removal from<br />
siding and keep your lot free of clutter. Please also remember to remove<br />
your trash can for storage out of public view after trash collection. If you<br />
have additional questions, all governing documents can be found at<br />
SpectrumAM.com under the tab community info and documents. Your<br />
Spectrum Site Manager will be performing inspections twice monthly.<br />
SOCIAL COMMITTEE<br />
If you are interested in being involved with the 4 neighborhood events<br />
including the Easter Egg Hunt, Patriotic Pool Party, National Neighbors<br />
Night Out and Cookies with Santa please contact Cindy either by text at<br />
713-518-4722 or by email at cindymariend@yahoo.com to sign up! These<br />
parties are run by volunteers in the neighborhood and we could really<br />
use your help.<br />
MAKING HOME IMPROVEMENTS?<br />
As a reminder, all exterior changes or additions to your home MUST be<br />
applied for by the homeowner and approved by the <strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Green</strong><br />
Homeowners Association prior to performing any work on the project.<br />
Please contact Spectrum at www.spectrumam.com for assistance.<br />
STREETLIGHTS<br />
Please report any lights that are out, blinking or on during the day. Part<br />
of your annual Homeowners fee pays for your streetlights, whether they<br />
work or not. If a light is out in your area, please call 713-207-2222 or go<br />
to www.centerpointenergy.com/outage and report it. Each light pole<br />
should have a 6-digit number on it. When reporting the light, you will<br />
need to provide the pole number and closest intersection or address. We<br />
want all our lights to work… a well lit area is a safe area!<br />
SIGNS ON MAILBOXES, LIGHT POLES<br />
AND STREET SIGNS<br />
If you place signs in and around the neighborhood for Garage Sales,<br />
Lost Pets, etc., please make sure you remove them in a timely manner.<br />
Remember that postal boxes are the property of the USPS and it is a<br />
crime to attach anything to the cluster mailboxes! Please help to keep<br />
<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Green</strong> looking beautiful!<br />
CONSTABLE PATROL<br />
As a reminder, the Association has a patrol contract through Harris<br />
County Precinct 5 Constable. We share 40 hours of patrol per week<br />
at random times with <strong>Aberdeen</strong> Trail HOA. Please add the following<br />
dispatch number to your cell phones or post in a visible place at home<br />
in case you need support in a non-life-threatening situation. Their nonemergency<br />
dispatch number is 281-463-6666. If you see vandalism<br />
or anything suspicious please contact the dispatch number as well as<br />
Spectrum Management. The constable patrol also offers a free vacation<br />
watch service. Log on to their website at www.co.harris.tx.us/pct5/forms.<br />
aspx to obtain a form and learn more about the program.<br />
PET POLICY AND ETIQUETTE<br />
We understand your pets are very important to you and want to be a pet<br />
friendly community. However, we have received many complaints that<br />
there are pet owners not following the rules of the community when it<br />
comes to pet etiquette. Please, be aware and make a conscious effort to<br />
the adhere to the following guidelines:<br />
• Only two pets per household - refer to governing documents regarding<br />
height and weight limits.<br />
• Pick up pet waste and discard properly.<br />
• Do not allow pets to roam around the community unrestrained - it’s the<br />
law! This includes cats too!<br />
• Do not allow dogs to bark continuously disturbing neighbors.<br />

<strong>Aberdeen</strong> <strong>Green</strong> | <strong>October</strong> <strong>2021</strong> 7
fun crafts to do<br />
for halloween<br />
www.goodhousekeeping.com<br />
1. Start with the right pumpkin.<br />
Choose one that's fresh, with a sturdy stem, no bruises, and a<br />
flat bottom so it won't roll while you carve.<br />
2. Cut from the bottom, not the top. Michael<br />
Natiello, pumpkin carving pro and creative director for The Great<br />
Jack-o'-Lantern Blaze, says cutting your "lid" from the bottom of<br />
the pumpkin helps prevent the sides from caving in later.<br />
3. If you do carve from the top, cut out the lid<br />
on an angle. This way it won't drop inside the pumpkin<br />
when you put it back on top, like it would with a straight upand-down<br />
cut. A boning knife should work well for this.<br />
4. Scoop out all the pulp (and then some). You<br />
can buy a special "claw" for pumpkin gutting, but an ice cream<br />
scoop will do just fine. Thin the inner wall of the "face" area to<br />
1¼-inch thick, so it will be easier to pierce the shell.<br />
5. Sketch out your design on paper first. If you<br />
draw your jack-o'-lantern face to size, Natiello says you can<br />
use it as a pattern: Just tape it to the front of your pumpkin<br />
and use a fork or pencil to poke holes along the lines you want<br />
to carve. (Or save yourself from creative blocks by getting a<br />
pumpkin carving kit, complete with a marker, scraper, cutting<br />
tools, and pre-made patterns.)<br />
6. Hold the pumpkin in your lap. It's easier to create<br />
features when the face is gazing up at you. Natiello suggests<br />
using a serrated kitchen knife or an X-Acto knife for carving,<br />
but to make intricate designs, you could try using a small saw.<br />
Just don't cut on a slant — clean up-and-down slices look best.<br />
How to carve a pumpkin<br />
7. Start by making simple rough cuts. If you get<br />
the big pieces of pumpkin out of the way first, you can go back<br />
and clean up the edges of your design later.<br />
8. Use your scraps creatively. Make a tongue, pipe,<br />
or hair accessories out of a discarded piece of pumpkin shell,<br />
for example.<br />
9. Keep your pumpkin fresh. Natiello recommends<br />
spreading petroleum jelly on the cut edges to seal in moisture.<br />
If your pumpkin still shrivels a few days later, you can revive it<br />
with a facedown soak in cold water for up to eight hours.<br />
10. Create a chimney. First, leave the lid on for a few<br />
minutes while the candle burns. Then make a small hole where<br />
the lid has blackened. Or, save yourself the stress and go with<br />
battery-operated votives instead.<br />
11. Sprinkle cinnamon inside the lid. That way,<br />
when you light the candle, your jack-o'-lantern will smell like<br />
a pumpkin pie. Yum.<br />

Hanging Bat Craft<br />
Here’s a simple hanging bat craft for kids using empty toilet paper rolls. These<br />
adorable cardboard tube bats are a great way for kids to help decorate for<br />
fall or Halloween. They also make a great activity to go with the children’s<br />
book, Stellaluna! (Free bat wing template is provided on website www.<br />
buggyandbuddy.com.)<br />
Materials for Bat Craft<br />
Cardboard tube (We used an empty toilet paper roll.)<br />
Tempera paint (black or brown) and paintbrush<br />
Construction paper (black or brown)<br />
Black pipe cleaners<br />
Scissors<br />
Single hole punch (This is my favorite! It can punch through multiple<br />
sheets without making your hand sore!)<br />
Glue<br />
Googly eyes<br />
Marker (We used black and silver Sharpies.)<br />
Bat wing template (optional)<br />

How to Make the Bat Craft<br />
1. Paint your cardboard tube either black or brown (depending on the color<br />
bat you’d like to make). This is our favorite tempera paint to use. I love the<br />
colors and it doesn’t have a strong paint odor like other tempera paints.<br />
2. While the cardboard tube is drying, draw some bat wings onto<br />
construction paper and cut them out. (If you don’t want to draw them<br />
yourself, you can use our bat wing template.)<br />
3. Glue the wings onto the back of the cardboard tube.<br />
4. Cut out some little triangles from your construction paper to make<br />
ears. Glue these onto the bat, along with some googly eyes. Use a marker<br />
to draw a mouth.<br />
5. Punch two holes in the bottom of your cardboard tube. This is where<br />
the legs will go.<br />
6. Cut a black pipe cleaner in half. Twist one end of each pipe cleaner<br />
through each punched hole.<br />
7. To make the feet, snip off the last inch of each leg. Wrap the one-inch<br />
piece of pipe cleaner around the bottom of each leg. Fold the middle part<br />
of the foot to make a hook for hanging.<br />
8. Hang your bat up for fall or Halloween!<br />
