Shocked to Discover the "Duck Pond" so Littered

Apparently the Mayor's Anti Litter Day Volunteers didn't make it out to our little neck of the woods.  During one of our visits to a little reservoir in the Aurora Arboretum by Bayview Greens, we were shocked to discover this much litter around the shoreline.  Time to gear the kids up with some bags and gloves and teach them a life lesson.  This is why my kids use reusable containers for their lunch foods and aluminum containers for their daily water at school. 

Tsk tsk.

Crab Apple Tree in Spring

We planted this crab apple tree in the Aurora Arboretum behind our house when we decided to unearth it from our front yard and replace it with a Japanese cherry.  Gordon Barnes marked it with a yellow tag as he made his way through the Arboretum to plot out a new trail and make plans for an upcoming irrigation system that is intended to support the Arboretum Meadow's tree lined perimetre.

This is the time of year when I love it the most, while in the bloom of spring!
