The Gelman thing rolls on still... No movement from the knotheads in the university...

Is the rest from the digs west of here polluted? How many Ann Arbor gardens use the stuff?

The meadow is amazing ... mapping of what species is where is going on nicely. ... Another picnic/party/skinnydip broken up ~1:30am.

Boundry tour... fence-mending, and trash cruise... a good 4 HOUR wack today!

Dr. S has agreed to tend the the place while I teach at the University of Michigan Biological Station this summer!

A memo sent to the Murphyites re: this.

The meadow regeneration project proceeds well... Amazing floral differences as we go from "lawn" to meadow. Dandelion BOOM than great BUST as natives take over!!

Planted 8 Cottonwoods in a circle by the lake front (McSmith...)

1 May

Broke up a major party on the north side of the lake... Part of this group had a bonfire gowing on Gelman property on the rise by the bend in our upper drive (south).

27 April

Began the first lawnmowing. Continued to remove grapevines from the border trees facing Liberty Ave... Trying to make a hedgerow atop the fenceline.

9:15am Detroit Edison meter reader just came by... They have had a key ~15 years.

26 April

Patrol + fence mending: the old fence is crumbling away very quickly.
