Here we are, from left, Diane, Erin and Em... reworking the geometry of the Roerich circle, where the weeds have erased all previous man-made form.

We found some bee balm, but not much (de la monarda...une seule, de 300 semences qui ont été plantés, ouf.)


Trifolium pratense, a familiar 'weed' (the red clover that was planted in June in outer circle of the Roerich symbol).

Va pèter dans le trèfle is a Québécois expression I learned today. It means,
‘go fart in the clover’; c’est-à-dire, piss off.



Les gardiens 'officiel' du terrain.



End of day, one of the circles is complete; empty of weeds, and the cardboard goes over top as mulch.


This shot is from a walk with Bronwyn Chester, a local tree scholar. She found us an apple tree with a sweetie.

From the tree tour with Bronwyn Chester and CPR history with Kevin Cohalan in September.
