Reprieve!

Today is a brilliant day- just when we were expecting the Cities' chain-saws to be arriving at any moment- probably at dead of night- to destroy our Santa Monica Downtown Ficus Trees, we got a temporary respite. Our wonderful attorney, Tom Nitti, succeeded in getting a reprieve for them from the Court. A restraining order now protects the trees until the Court either has a Hearing or makes a ruling without a Hearing- subsequent to the City responding to the order and Tom Nitti replying to their response....

Although we cannot totally relax, knowing there is still a lot of work to be done, we can at last SLEEP IN PEACE- for the time being at any rate....
