Today we spent about 4 hours out in the yard digging up the garden, raking, and pruning shrubs. Our yard is starting to look amazing. The best part of the day in the yard was NO CATS! I am not sure what happened to them all but 4 hours and no cats was paradise.
We have the following produce now ready or getting ready to grow in our yard:
Strawberries
Rhubarb
Apples
Green peppers
Tomatoes
Herbs (a wide variety)
We plan on putting in:
Peas
Corn
Cauliflower
and many other items.
We can not wait for the LM to explore these as they begin to produce food. She is absolutely amazed by the wonders of the outdoors.
City Council:
We heard a rumour that the city wants to purchase our land and a variety of properties surrounding us to put up affordable housing 4 plexes. This ofcourse has me in a panic as I do not know much about city bylaws etc. So, Drang writes an email to our respresentative on the city council and his reply is: I don't know, go ask this guy. I am not sure but I feel that his response at 7:59 in the morning was not a well researched response and he was just trying to pass the buck. I expected a little more from this man however I guess when you are not voted in because nobody else is running against you you then become complacent in your actions as who the hell really cares. I guess on Monday we will have to call this person and see what is up.

I also pointed out that the neighbourhood is zoned in such a way that 4 family dwellings aren't permitted, and that the whole thing smacked of foundless gossip, but that didn't help reduce her anxiety at all.
Good post.
