Rain

[vaneramos]

A robin sings in the maple across street beside the Polish deli, his voice lusty and sonorous in the rain. Everything swells with moisture. All over the city, new gardens are bursting out of spaces between sidewalk and curb. This trend I advocate. I like that people are getting sick of lawn.

Every time I go down to the car, it is littered with round, flat seeds from the Chinese elm, like little green cushions. The wipers smear them away.

Amazing blog, I also live in Guelph. Its kind of wierd seeing my neighbourhood on the computer screen where I could just as easily see a view from someone's apartment in shanghai. I am big on gardening and all this rain is doing wonders for the flowers. As for the boulevards i had big plans last year but the city put the kabosh on that by limiting the height of ones vegetation. Mick http://rockwatching.wordpress.com
