Windjammer – Our Oasis!
This article is dedicated to our wonderful landscaping chair Hillary Combs. Spring is sprung and we are now slowly through the rainy season…our village is definitely green and lush! Of course, Hillary has taken on a huge responsibility…not only is Windjammer the largest village in The Landings, we are blessed with a plethora of features and amenities. With a limited budget, it takes a lot of creativity to keep our “curb appeal” flourishing. Hillary stepped up to the task and was able to repurpose several Spanker planters. They were purged of dead plants and beautified with new flowers – what a sight they are!

Just imagine what an enormous task it is to care for our 26 acres with 800 trees (not counting smaller palms!), 16 buildings and five small and large lakes. On any given day you may see Hillary walking the property with a gaggle of landscaping pros, nourishing new plants and identifying and logging ongoing projects. Please stop and give her a big thanks for taking on this huge job!
Oktoberfest in Windjammer!
We’re starting off the season with our Sunday Funday Oktoberfest, the 3rd Sunday in October, 4-6 p.m. Bratwurst will be furnished by the association, guests are to bring $2 cover charge, and Oktoberfest dishes: potato salad, pretzels, cabbage rolls, red cabbage, noodles and cabbage, German chocolate cake, etc.
We’ll need four volunteers, besides Julie, Betty, Tom and us, for setup and grilling brats. I’m still looking for volunteers who could play some oompah music, accordion or otherwise!
Best wishes for a festive start to the new season! Eva Bell
