<\/div>\n
A MATTER OF CONCERN<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
We are cocooned in a wilderness in Port Credit.  I know that is hard to believe with so many<\/div>\n
condominiums under construction.  But take a look at these pictures taken when Marjorie noticed<\/div>\n
our ancient dump rake had been moved.   If you want to scare yourself then imagine someone<\/div>\n
is hiding in the June undergrowth.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAlan, some teen agers moved the old dump rake one day last week\u2026.ad last<\/div>\n
night  I think we had a prowler.”<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Last night Marjorie found our back gate forced\u2026enough room for someone to slip through<\/div>\n
and the sideboard gate was open allowing Woody to get out and find some garbage.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Here are some pictures of the back of our lot at Mary Fix Creek.    Lots of cover for<\/div>\n
B and E people.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
A MATTER OF PRIDE<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I think we own one of the largest\u2026if not the largest\u2026trees in Mississauga.<\/div>\n
Silver Maple that is nearly 9 feet wide at the base.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
SEARCHING FOR A PROWLER<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The closest I got to the prowler was the secret places where our coyotes live and maybe raise a family.  But there are also<\/div>\n
trails where humans walk.   As well they should for this bit of forest is a treasure.  Prowler?   Impossible to find. Long gone.<\/div>\n
A person of the dark night.   Or maybe just a nature lover lost in our sudden wilderness.  a person who wanted to reach<\/div>\n
the pavement on the other side of our house.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Marjorie pulling wild garlic which she believes<\/div>\n
it taking over our back lot.  She could make an Hawaiian Skirt out of the stuff.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
