local nature #2



Oshtemo is building a new elementary school on 9th Street. Right now it's a beautiful field of tall grasses and wildflowers. It used to be an even larger field, until condominiums were built over half of it. Next year it might not even be there, so I stopped by on a windy afternoon last week to take some pictures and a pick a few to bring home for Corey. I wonder if when the school is complete they'll leave any of the field intact? I hope, but I doubt it. Goodbye biodiversity -- suburbia demands its monotonous green lawn.
