Glasses, trees and the dog(s) of the month!

Over the past 10 years I have gotten 3 sets of glasses; one being after the cataract surgery and another pair when I thought I had lost the first pair only to find them 2 weeks later. I should be set with glasses for the next 10 years at least! The problem I have when getting glasses is choosing the frames because I really don't care how they look on me so I usually let the guy offering the choices pick the ones he would want. In the last decade the only difference I could see in 'style' was that they got a bit larger each time but I also noticed one pair was grey, another brown and the latest black. What color do you wear with blue masks?!!? I do have one black mask so that isn't a problem. Well, you are the one who will be looking at my face so make a decision!!! :O) I don't understand the logic but every May they cut back the regular trees and in October the palm trees. Yes, they are cutting them back because of hurricane 'season' which runs from May to November and branches can break off and smash into windows but why different times for different trees? Also, with all the modern technology, why does the poor guy, in the bottom left picture, have to lug all the very heavy fronds to the truck?!? Last, but certainly not least, say hello to the October dogs, Oliver and his sister Olivia!

You are all set with glasses . I only have sunglasses, but the frame does matter to me . . . not so much the color but the fit and the way it goes with my face. But I wouldn't be concerned with matching the mask - I don't even match the mask with my clothes! Maybe the palms grow a lot during summer so they cut them back later? Technology certainly has not solved every problem just yet. Aw - cute dogs!

@amitkokiladitya We will have to agree to disagree--I believe we MAKE our own fate by the decisions we make!

I always thought the frame of glasses was determined by the Len's. If you do not have that bad of vision you can get usually the cooler looking frames The worse your vision is the more geeky you look, but a lot of people at least here changed that too as geeky is cool now too. I have never been that good at matching. A girl once told me all you wear is Levi's and black shirts that always matches. Cool. Brooklyn and Kai say hi to Oliver and Olivia with a tail wag.

@GreatMartin That is because you can't even see them and my vision is only poor enough where I can just barely see how geeky some look. Birth control glasses buddy.

could be coz diff'rent trees 've diff'rent prunin' seasons. prune too early 'r late 'n such can cause said tree to suffer'n 't times die. i aint a fashion gal, so i reckon whiche'er pair ya can see out'ta the best'll do. perhaps that fella gets paid by the ton versus the hour? howdy, cuties!

Our palms grow up to 5-6 stories high and the 'fronds' don't appear until the 4th story!!

I have no idea about the trees, but I agree that with the modern technology they should have a better way to lug the heavy fronds to the truck. My eyeglasses are silver metal, I like the frame and I have the same for about 15 years... I fear that the next year I need new lens. Lovely dogs.

I generally like colourless frames on my glasses - that way they aren't so conspicuous. Who do the dogs belong to?

I have a black mask and just bought a pink mask. Red eye glasses will go well with your mask, a nice pic of you. The little puppies are cute

@GreatMartin Yes, what matters is what you can see from the glasses.
