Yes, it's a little worn, but ...

 It still stands for what is right, and we are still members. This, as always, has been displayed in our kitchen window.

NOT MINE, BUT ...

Member of the family next door to me checking out the security camera as he retrieves a ball. We are not on speaking terms, and the way they have goes about things, we will never be. However, here is a male member that favors my husband at the gate of my garden. Hmm. Not trusting

What are you up to girl????  

I suggest you leave things alone.  And by the way No Trespassing for any reasons but you already know this. Don't you.

After reviewing more cameras we have determined that this is a out right disregard of our property and trespassing by neighbors next door who were previously told by the police to leave us alone and to stop trespassing.   

 

 

Below is my husband checking things out after those people trespassed.

STOP TRESPASSING!!!!

Plant Piracy

 UPDATE: 12.24.2020 - below are photos of the plants that were switched our for the the Chicago Edible Fig tree and the Olive Tree - Tree of Peace trees that I purchased. What did you think i would toss them? No, these are just as much a part of nature as the oak trees in my yard. I received them on December 04, 2020 and this is how they look after 20 days of care.

I keep them under my grow light center. I still don’t know what they are, but a weekly dose of regular miracle grow and regular misting, and it is easy their improvement. I only thing I know for sure is that they are woody plants. Therefore, it is be interesting to see just what they grow up to be.

UPDATE: 12.08.2020 - Seller did not honor their word to make this matter with order my right as they stated. However, there was no lost to me as Amazon A-Z guarantee program has granted me a refund of the $51.95 that I paid for the four plants.

Be careful when ordering live plants online, things can go wrong, either on the sellers end, or with the shipping carriers. At this point I will probably never know who, when and where my order went sour. However, I am glad I had a safe guard and could recover my funds.

UPDATE: The company that I purchased my trees and who I have let nameless here has decided to make my order right. While this process is ongoing, let me share the reasons for my choice of these plants. This is a copy of an entry from my journal,

"How My Garden Grows, or Not, Sic

 

The Life and Cultivation of My Little Garden"

-- START OF ENTRY--

12/04/2020 – On November 28, 2020, I bought a couple of Chicago Edible Figs trees that are cold hardy that do well in warmer semi-tropical areas, like Florida and the Mediterranean. With them I also bought a pair of Olive Tree - Tree of Peace trees.

While the Chicago Edible Fig trees are fast growers that can be maintained at six feet of the its thirty foot height in nature, they do well even in containers; the Olive Tree - Tree of Peace are slow grower that can be maintained indoor as well as out in the garden. I am looking forward to these two trees.

Native to the Northern US, these figs trees produce medium sized fruits with a brown to purple color. It produces fruits in the summer that are known for their delicious flavor. They are dormant in the winter in the north.

What does the Fig tree symbolize in the Bible?

·         The fig tree is the third tree to be mentioned by name in the Hebrew Bible. The first is the Tree of life and the second is the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve used the leaves of the fig tree to sew garments for themselves after they ate the "fruit of the Tree of knowledge" (Genesis 2:16–17), when they realized that they were naked (Genesis 3:7).

Read Jesus’ parable of the fig tree:

·         “And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’ And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure. Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down” (Luke 13:6-9).

Here Jesus is seeking repentance from Israel before their final judgment. However, in these modern times, it can also mean the continuation of nurturing, encouraging a person or people, or the single mined drive of completing a person life goal(s). This also can go along with the religious view of "right living" under Jesus parable. -- Widescreen Online Review Plus

Olive Tree - Tree of Peace - Olea europaea

Hardy in zones 8-11. In cooler regions grow as a Patio Plant or House Plant! Makes a very unusual bonsai! The olive is native to the Mediterranean region, tropical and central Asia and various parts of Africa. The olive has a history almost as long as that of Western civilization, it's development being one of civilized man's first accomplishments.

Questions and annotates about Olive Tree - Tree of Peace:

Why an olive tree is considered a Peace Tree?

·         This was seen as a sign that God had stopped his war on mankind, the flood was receding, and land was in sight. According to some, an olive branch signifies peace because olive trees, because of their slow growth, are not cultivated during war time and therefore considered as peace-time trees.

What is the promise of the olive tree?

·         The olive tree was alive and growing. The promise of the dove’s olive branch was a new beginning for humanity, peace and reconciliation with God, renewal, and revival. The slow and hearty growth of the olive tree also implies establishment and peace.

What does the olive tree symbolize in the Bible?

·         The slow and hearty growth of the olive tree also implies establishment and peace. Some of the oldest olive trees in the world still grow today in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives. The flowering olive tree is a symbol of beauty and abundance in the Bible.

The fruit of the Chicago Edible Fig tree will a nice addition of our diet and the olives from the Olive Tree - Tree of Peace can be pressed or used sliced or whole in salads as store bought olives and olive oil.  Overall, they will fit in well in my 'Mary Garden'.-- Widescreen Online Review Plus

ORIGINAL POST

 I waited a week for  two 4" Pot of Chicago Edible Fig  trees and an a pair of  two Olive Tree - Tree of Peace - Olea europaea. Both are pictured below.

Chicago Edible Fig

Olive Tree - Tree of Peace - Olea europaea

Today, beside the fact the plants are in poor condition, what I received is something I have idea of what it is suppose to be, and is definitely not the plants I ordered.

WHAT ARE THESE?

These are neither Olive Tree - Tree of Peace - Olea europaea,  nor Chicago Edible Fig trees.

 

 

These were delivered by FedEx, however, this is not the original FedEx label and it just a plain sheet of sheet of paper that someone printed the information on. 

Like I stated above, I have waited a week for the that plants I ordered, and these are not them. Now I must contact the seller and FedEx to get things made right. 

Food Preferences, A Personal Thing

Not being a person who holds grudges or one who lies readily to deflect wrongdoings, I often do not catch a person malicious actions or intents until I have had time to reflect on the day’s events or sometimes revelation will come much later.

Nevertheless, YES. When I shop for fruits and vegetables I am picky. I do not buy botches outdated produce, and I do not knowingly buy produce that couple malicious female Wal-Mart store employees have dug their nails into without regards to the invisible trash beneath them or the harm they might cause the buyers. My not liking the digging of the nails into customers’ foods also applies to soft package foods and the opening bottle and jar foods to punch their nails through the protective shield as well.

This has happened more than once recently and in two stores. After reporting each incident, I have been even more selective about my groceries, and because of those malicious Wal-Mart store employees involved the this of thing, I will continue to search through the produces and products before I buy them with a finer inspection than I normally would have in the past. After all, I am a customer buying food and other products to consume and use at home, and we do not need the trash beneath some nasty store employee nails endangering our health.

I hope this settles the why of why I inspect the foods I intend to buy so thoroughly. Because I do not need some sly devil twisting my motives around while not telling certain folks that they themselves (store employees) are a party to the malicious damage to the foods and other products that we have bought lately.

A note to these malicious employees of Walmart and you know who you are. I do not care that you do not like me. However, you should respect your workplace. If not, quit. Because when you get caught you might not ever work in foods again.  

More Walmart Damaged Goods

If you follow me on my other site, Widescreen Network News, you have seen the articles about receiving damaged goods because of a FedEx driver that is part of a crime family that terrorizing their neighborhood, as well as mine  and others.  This driver acting with other members of his family, have been responsible for many of the online packages arriving damaged.

What started off as a neighborhood debuted has turned in to them viciously and violently spreading their venom from place to place, shop to shop, online and off.  Members of their family has been discovered to be employed in such places as  Walmart and FedEx.  They have dogged my online merchants filled them with lies. 

Because I reported the Fedex driver, lies were spread to drivers of UPS and the USPS and i packages were no only arriving damaged but delivered to other addresses. 

Here are pictures of the damaged Sterilite Tote Boxes delivered by the reported FedEx driver today. Seven out of the eight lids arrived are damaged as pictured. One is punch through in each corner. Nevertheless, and as I stated above,  he has family working in Walmart and their influence could also be the cause the lids damaged condition.  Or. he is stopping somewhere to do the damage or allowing one or more of his family members to do the damage.

This crushed box is from another delivery by another carrier and shows the bad influence of the this family.  And yes, I take pictures of each damaged package and its goods.

In any case, I believe that he and his family used too much of the illegal drugs that they sell with no regards of the families they are destroy.  Are they still selling, probably as a small group was  pretending to or trying to sell something right in the alley adjacent to my house on Sunday, July 13, 2019. they acted as if I and the security camera were not there.

But I stated I think they were testing me to see if I would said anything. I did and I told them not to bring that to our alley and to use their own alley, which I doubt their neighbors would want them doing there ether.

Since there has been other annoying people hanging about that probably belong to them. People asking for money, a greater number of strangers in gray/silver Suva and sedan driving in and out of the alley and the driveway of the stores adjacent to the alley.  And let's not forget the house behind is filled with members of the same family, who no doubt know what is happening and probably have hands in the problems troubling me and this neighborhood.  You would think they would be happy the we are no longer looking at each other everyday, but nooo. They seem to have lost themselves in angry at not seeing us.  What the heck! We are happy not seeing them.

But seriously, I have reported. complained and screamed them, yet they insanely continue making useless trouble for everyone involved. Mostly innocent people like, me, who see them as they are and truly don't give a damn about them.

You know they read this. Anyway, I must return more damage goods and pray that Walmart and FedEx fired these troublemakers.


Here is a picture frame and its box delivered by the same driver on June 24, 2019. There was also two young women that were strangers to my area circling the house that day also. I believe they saw security cameras.
