The yards are judged by a panel of neighbors to decide
who will be awarded the WHCA Yard of the Month. The program runs from
April to August with awards given out for May through September. The
winner is awarded a plant from our sponsor Wal-Mart Garden Center on
Dorchester Road. A sign will be placed in the winner's yard. The
winning yard for June belongs to The Rivera Family on Loggers Run in
Ricefield. The winner for July is The Anderson Family on Bideford Court
in Moultrie Place. Congratulations to all homeowners.
We wish a warm welcome to our newest families: The Borcher Family in
Indigo Ridge, the O'Neal Family in Plantation Pointe. The Williams Family
in Ricefield. These new neighbors have been visited by the WHCA "Welcome
Wagon". They were presented with a bag of goodies from local merchants.
If you are new to our neighborhood or know someone who is, please call us
with an address. A name is helpful but not required. We need everyone's
help in keeping up with our new neighbors.

Dehydration occurs when the output of water is greater then
the amount of water taken into the body. Did you know?
You need at least 6-8 glasses of water each day.
Older adults are less likely to feel thirsty.
Mixing juice with water can be very beneficial. Symptoms of dehydration
include sunken eyes, dry mouth, decreased urine output, decreased tears,
dry, red skin, dizziness, nausea, and headaches. If you are experiencing
any of these symptoms, please get out of the heat and sun; drink plenty of
water, and rest. If the symptoms continue, seek the advice of your doctor.
Don't forget the other members of your family... the dogs and cats. If
your animals are outside, give fresh water with ice cubes at least 2-3
times a day.
This is a new section added in the last issue. Our intent
is to inform everyone (including persons who rent) the covenants and
restrictions for Windsor Hill. Every homeowner agreed to obey the covenants
and restrictions when they purchased their home. These are taken word-for-word.
Swimming pools shall not be nearer than six (6) feet to any lot
line (and must be located to the rear of the main dwelling) and
shall not project with their coping more than two (2) feet above
the established lot grade.
Boundary walls may be erected and hedges grown but not higher
than three (3) feet from the street right-of-way to the minimum
building setback line. Fences , boundary walls and hedges shall
not exceed six (6) feet in height from the minimum building setback
line to the rear of the property. No fence may be constructed
within ten (10) feet of the front corners of any building.
No trash, rubbish, debris, junk, stored materials, wrecked or
inoperable vehicles or any similar unsightly items shall be allowed
to remain on any lot. However, the foregoing shall not be construed
to prohibit temporary deposits of trash, rubbish, and debris for
pickup by governmental or similar garbage and trash removal service
units. In the event any owner of any developed lot fails or refuses
to keep such property free from any weeds, underbrush, or other
unsightly growth, then the Developer, or its successor, may enter
upon such property five days after posting a notice thereon,
requesting the owner to observe this paragraph, and upon entry remove
all such unsightly items or growths at the owner's cost. No such
entry shall be deemed a trespass. Developer's notice shall be
sufficient, if it states in substance: "Please remove this
unsightly item or growth: (Describe here) within five days or
Developer shall do so at your expense. You are violating the
Restrictions." Developer shall have a lien on the subject
property for any such costs until paid in full by the owner.
Protect your lawn from scorching summer sun by taking
less off the top when mowing. Experts recommend making this cutting-height
change in July and August when your lawn is most vulnerable to extreme
conditions. The exact height you cut the grass will depend on the type of
grass you have. Adjust the wheels on the mower or the cutters on the tractor to move blades
to a higher level.
Dirt and lint deposits inside a bathroom vent fan can
impair efficiency, encourage mildew growth and shorten the life of the unit.
To clean the fan, remove the vent cover and wipe the inside with a damp rag.
A cotton swab or an old toothbrush works well on fan blades. If the fan
still seems ineffective, you can get information on fan sizing and operation
from Broan (www.broan.com, 800-637-1453).
If you're going to be away from home for an extended period,
move containers and hanging baskets into shade or dappled light. Even
sun-loving plants can handle some shade for a brief time. Ask a neighbor to
stop by and water plants as needed. Clip off any flowers in full bloom or
past bloom. This dead heading keeps them from going to seed and encourages
more flowers. Before you go, water trees and shrubs thoroughly and renew
mulch around plants to retain moisture and keep the soil temperature cooler.
Summer time is when most people take their "annual" family vacation.
