Back To The Orchard

“It is held that David Suzuki first experienced his love of natural history, while exploring in the Coves pond”… and much has changed since he was teenager. I guess his family moved to Ontario from BC, and spent his late teens in London in the 50s. “Our identity includes our natural world, how we move through it, how we interact with it and how it … Continue reading Back To The Orchard

On The Way Back To The Yellow Bricks

Spring won’t be rushed, it will come when it comes, and winter still holds on with it’s icy fingers, keeping the air crisp and breezy, and with spring will bring the time when D3 leaves town. I do look forward to bicycle rides on a hot summer day and meeting new people, once he leaves for good, which will happen I guess now in mid-May. … Continue reading On The Way Back To The Yellow Bricks

the man who never came

and so she stumbled forward. grasping at the bits and pieces of herself, she had left behind, forgotten by the side of the road. awaiting the next distraction, she looked out the sun-washed window, biting her lip. he wasn’t coming. she could feel it. he wasn’t coming. That was then. Time and fury stalked the room, the sidewalks bore the brunt of those angry days. … Continue reading the man who never came

Trails of Transformation

It stands on the edge of an area of London residents unlovingly once nicknamed “manure park”. This little pocket of paradise is a shining example of what can happen when people get together to turn things around. Euston Park is located in the ‘middle’ of the Coves Subwatershed.
