Reflections from Crumbly Acres: plants

We went into town, I haven't taken many photos, but here is an update to this local build.

I wrote some about this new senior's housing and residence built recently in Perth. They have built Tay River Healthcare, and are adding buildings for phase 2. They've put student artwork into the building! Perth student artists create masterpieces for Tay River Health Centre.

PHASE 2

There is some controversy about the privacy fencing (Dec. 27, Mar. 16, 2022, March 31 ) for homes facing the property. They are working on it!

This is the latest photo:

I toodled on down to the frogpond. The wonderful melt it had begun has reversed somewhat. There is evidence that the turkeys have been sitting on my dock.

The frogpond is filled with snow melt, making it a vernal pond. Some seasons it lasts all summer. The meadow looks like a pond, as well.

I spotted the first signs of daffodils. Soon they will be smiling and the bees will be out!

I saw signs of the tulips, as well! Soon they will be up and blooming.

Ditch Diving

I spent a couple of hours picking up trash from our ditches. Some years they've been quite wet, and I wore my non-leaky rain boots just in case. (They were a gift!) The ditch was quite dry, which doesn't bode well for Spring flowers.

I picked up a good load of stuff. Mostly beer cans. Ironically, I was picking up what was obviously debris from a car incident, when suddenly an ambulance flips on their sirens. I've a low startle reflex and I jumped, covering my ears. Some of the trucks really do well over the 80 km/hour speed limit and it unnerves me, but I carried on. I probably have another couple of hours to do. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

🍃seeds grow

Back up at the house, Cinnamon was observing his front yard. The Orchid cactus is blooming (lower left) and the squash, pumpkins, zucchini and zinnia are coming along.
