Good Monday morning and welcome back to Dawson Road Today!
I came back into my shop late last night to prepare this post. To my mind, it was a very pleasant night, almost surreal. The temperature was mild, the rain from earlier in the evening had stopped, there was a heaviness of mist in the air; but not quite fog. I drove back to the store with my van window down, which is probably why I was able to hear some distant voice telling me to turn on my headlights. From the tape player in my car the gentle Celtic haunting sounds of Loreena McKinnett relaxed any concerns I had. The mist in the air was enough to block the view of the night sky stars, allowing only the reflections from the full moon and the still lingering Jupiter to shine through. It had been a good weekend.
On the way back to the shop I purposely drove through the intersection at Delhi and Eramosa. The construction work at that intersection is now complete, all the pylons and equipment are removed and the intersection is open for regular traffic. Good news!
After that I purposely drove through the stretch of road on Edinburgh between London Road and Willow Road. That stretch had been closed for several weeks and is now open. Construction on Edinburgh Road will still continue for several weeks yet; so please follow the pylons and posted signs, drive safely and watch for the workers. I noticed that the Rainbow Esso gas bar was not lit up and the windows were covered. It looks as though they are not operating any more. If someone representing the city is reading this today please advise me if they have gone out of business or temporarily shutdown.
At the start of today, as you enter the construction site on Dawson Road you will be directed by the orange and black arrow sign to enter into the right lane. Please follow the directions and pylons to ensure the safety of the workers and ensure your speedy passage to the business you're looking for on Dawson Road. The Bel-Air Construction crews will be working on in-filling the boulevards for final landscaping and preparation work for the completion of curbs and sidewalks. These pictures were taken last Friday and show how material has been ramped up in our driveway to provide an alternate access while work is done to complete the curbs and the sidewalk.Today is municipal election day. If you haven't already voted, the polls are open until eight 8 p.m. today. I know that if you want to, you can find the time to get out and vote, and I hope you do.

Due to the late hour of last evening I did not get a new posting to my plant blog last night. However, today I will post and fill you in on what we do with the compost from our regular plant maintenance clients and show you some of the rewarding results. So, check out my plant blog at the above link this afternoon or even Tuesday morning.
I have decided that I will terminate this blog, Dawson Road Today, early next week whether the construction is finished or not. There is not enough new activity going on to advise you about, without the whole thing sounding like a commercial for Plants For All, which was never the intention. I am ready for this project to be done.
Today being Monday, I will be in the store at Plants For All at 66 Dawson Road today after 12:30, so if you get a chance to pop in and say 'hi' I would love to see you.
