Spring is here

Just some photos of the orchard, with the flowers in close to full bloom.

And a bluebird, resting on one of our new nestboxes.

Environmental Meeting

If you are interested in the direction Leslie Park is headed and the environmental goals we are striving for, come to a meeting at the clubhouse this Thursday at 7:30PM.  Myself, my boss, Doug Kelly, as well as Parks and Recreation Supervisor, Colin Smith and Community Services Administrator Sumedh Bahl will be there to present a power point presentation as well as answer questions about what is new at Leslie Park.  Also in attendance will be 1st Ward Concilwoman, Sabra Briere and city staff from Natural Areas Preservation.

Irrigation

So, things have been a little busy around here, lately.  If you have been under a rock, it is 72 degrees right now and on it's way to being 80 tomorrow.  With that, I have turned on the irrigation system.  It is always a touchy time, because, after being empty for 5 ,months, we now expect the pvc pipe in the ground to be able to withstand 120 psi of water pressure.  So far, everything has been good.  I don't think we will need to run any water soon, but you never can tell.  I will run the tees tonight, just to make sure that we got all of the air out of the system.  Wish me luck.

I hope to keep up with the posts a little more, when I settle down a little.

BTW, I hope to see everyone out here tomorrow for the Good Friday Golf Scramble.  The weather should be awesome.
