The garden today

Beautiful weather today after two days of cold (+15 C); no mosquitoes, many birds singing, a brilliant red cardinal, some other birds visiting the bird bath, the garden at its height. And life is good.

Your Inner hermit

 

Go with your Inner Hermit

Having to live with problems in today's world--war in Europe and a lot of conflict between people in society--I would prescribe gardening for anyone who wants some inner peace and quiet. Go with your Inner Hermit, the eremite gardener, the almost-recluse, the walking in society but not of society... and a few birds along for the journey. Even a tiny garden, a few containers on a balcony, is escape from the world and an invitation to birds and insects to visit. 

Walking to Meadowbrook Golf Course

It's been a few months since I walked to Meadowbrook Golf Course located at the far western end of Cote St. Luc Road. Here are some photos from the walk beginning with the completed construction of burying the St. Pierre River (seen looking over a fence at Toe Blake Park); what was left of the river (more of a creek) is gone, shrubs and grass planted, a road along the edge, and a man hole cover.

Here (below) is Cote St. Luc Road as it approaches Meadowbrook Golf Course; it used to be tree lined and quite pleasant, here it is earlier this week.
