A Poem By Derk Doornbos Oh, pandemic loosen your odious grip For Linda is deprived of her daily trip She yearns for Bowcliff and its echoing hall To hug and be hugged by all Oh, odious pandemic so mean She must help with lunches and dishes clean She misses, Sally, Carla, Gail and Jean And in the doorways of Angela Holly and John to Lean Monthly “Social” meals go uncooked To 3375 Spruce Drive Linda is hooked But daily myriad phone calls must suffice And the Hallmark channel has become a vice Jigsaw puzzles and books are what she’s got As the weekly Bridge games are not Of Covid 19 she does a grouse Oh Pandemic release her from the house | A Message from our Councillor, Evan Woolley Use less water this summer With the warmer months fast approaching, it’s time to prepare your yard for the upcoming seasons. By making some simple changes, you can enjoy a beautiful yard that’s green in more ways than one! Here are some helpful tips to make your YardSmart: · Choose water-wise plants. They need less watering, which means conserving our resources and savings on your water bill. Plants native to our region are a wise choice because they thrive in our unique climate. · Add pollinator-friendly plants. Our flowering plants and crops rely on pollinators, such as bees. Invite these powerhouses into your yard by planting a variety of white, yellow, blue and purple native flowers that bloom in all seasons. We recommend avoiding pesticides because they can’t discriminate between pests and beneficial insects. Remember, dandelions are not a noxious weed, and are a source of pollen and nectar for bees. For more information on pollinators check out calgary.ca/wildlife and click on the bee! · Keep your grass 3 inches long. Leaving your grass longer helps develops a deeper root system, keeping the roots cool in the heat and dry weather. Spreading mulch, such as bark or wood chips, also is a healthy choice to reduce evaporation and slow weed growth. Simple changes can make a big difference!
