The Parade is Coming! The Parade is Coming!




We had the Lewisville Western Day Parade today. We had Ashes, Radio, Story and myself (Petunia) there to represent the Lewisville LAFS Clown Program. Cary and Jennifer joined us and got the chance to ride on top of Engine 165. We had a lot of friends and neighbors shouting our names. We had a great time!



















We love having Cary and Jennifer and all our friends there and the support you give us. Speaking of support, Cary has set up a web site for Lewisville LAFS. He had co-workers asking him what we did and he thought this would be a great tool to explain to them and anyone else who wants to know more. Cary has done a great job. You can go to http://lewisville-lafs.webs.com to check it out. He has dates of events, newspaper articles, safety facts...and more. So visit his web site and share with your friends! I would look in now and then because he is always adding something. :)

October is National Fire Prevention Month. Remember to test your smoke detectors once a month!

It's Finally Autumn!

This is one of my favorite times of the year! It's that time of year that you can enjoy the changing of the seasons. Just one of the brief seasons we have in Texas. How beautiful the trees look showing off their colors. Getting your hands in the dirt one last time with all the new fall plants. The colors!

I had a friend tell me that we should not plant pansies until after the summer heat but before the first frost. I will have to see if my schedule and seasons can coordinate that . LOL

Oh, then there is Halloween or Fall Harvest (which ever you prefer.) Then Thanksgiving.....Wait! I'm getting ahead of myself again. Oh It's Autumn!

Happy First Day of Autumn everyone!


This is also a good time to add shrubs or trees to your yard . Not only do you get huge discounts on them, this is the perfect time of year to plant them. They do not suffer as much from stress and they have time to get established before Summer. If you can, wait until winter to plant the trees.

Up coming event dates for Ashes and Petunia.

September 27th, The Western Day Parade @ 3:00 PM. We will only be in the parade.

October 4th, The Lewisville Fire Department Open House from 10:00 until 3:00 PM. We will be walking around and talking to everyone. Handing out trading cards and stickers. They will have food and drinks and sometimes Blue Bell Ice Cream. It will be at The Lewisville Central (#1) Fire Station at Main and Valley Parkway. So drop by for a visit if you can.

Ashes and Radio will start their Safety Skits at the schools on October 2nd. They have 13 schools in the area they will be visiting. If you would like more information on dates please contact Bryan.

Remember to buckle up when you are in your car. It's as simple as a click!

Welcome to The Jarvis Fun House

Welcome to the Jarvis Fun House. We call it this because you never know what will be around the corner.

I will try to post different events that Ashes and/or Petunia will be at. Maybe a posting of my yard now and then. And I hope many, many more. So buckle up and get ready for the ride.................

Monday is the first day of Autumn. Have you had your fire place checked for soot build up? Now is a good time to have a Chimney Check Up!
