The first bloodroot flowers (Sanguinaria canadensis) came out this week-end too (white, crocus-like, native). The ones we saw were tucked away on the side of the meadow on Overbrook.

As I clean out and transition to my Texas volunteer work, I wanted to make sure the essay (as I remember) was on record. I like your “took root” analogy.

I’m interested in the new redevelopment project coming up!

I miss so much about living in the Adena Brook neighborhood. Like running by your place and seeing you run. I brought with me the inspiration of your running!

Susan,

Thanks for a great essay on how the Adena Brook Community either “got off the ground” or “took root.”

Comment on Baby foxes curious and friendly by dianastacey

Hello Beverly. I just saw your question.

The fox family lived in my neighbors backyard (200 Overbrook) for most of the summer. In August, we learned one of our other neighbors had been feeding one of the babies in the evening. They said it appeared to be the runt, and the rest of the family had abandoned it.

That fox would come to them when they came home, and it would nap on their porch! Unfortunately, it contracted mange in Sept. The Ohio Wildlife Center instructed them to bring it in for treatment. The neighbor captured it and brought it in, but in the process of capturing it, the fox bit (scratched) him through a heavy glove. It had to be put down and tested for rabies. They were devastated.

We don’t know where the rest of the family moved… we haven’t seen any foxes since the runt.

It’s so good to see you, the neighbors working in the background and the beautiful rain garden!

We had a family with 5 baby foxes living on our property at 611 Overbrook. We always wondered where the family moved onto. Would you mind sharing where they are now?

Comment on 6/13/09: Clean up Summary (YOUTH CLEAN UP) by smb

Thank you for sending this information, including the details about participation, items removed and total bags of trash; it will be used in the future as an example of how successful the program can be when volunteers really get involved.

Speaking personally, I believe it is fantastic when neighbors and neighborhood groups take ownership of an area as important as one of our waterways and invest their time to clean things up. I’m guessing much of what was collected was the sort of trash that blows out of containers and gets randomly tossed out of windows, though it also sounds like you removed items that people specifically put there because they felt the stream was a convenient dumping ground. Your work will help reverse that thought process.

You and those who participated in this event deserve a lot of credit for turning your pride into action.

Thank you again for sending me your cleanup recap.

Comment on A tasty incentive for pulling garlic mustard by Steve & Georgia

Steve & Georgia — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:11:32 +0000

If only garlic mustard were as rare and spread as slowly as morels. We had two morels pop up in our yard this year. Next year I hope we have at least two again.

However, if I left two garlic mustard plants this year how many hundreds of plants would we have in the next few years?
