The amount of spontaneous vegetation in a given city always seems to be inversely proportional to it's economic prosperity. In NYC Manhattan with sky high property values there is little spontaneous vegetation while Brooklyn and the Bronx are filled with it. Frank Egler 1966 - The Wild Gardener in the Wild Landscape

By the 1890’s, the Laurentians were becoming less isolated and in the summers, middle class people from Montreal started coming for vacations away from the city. This initiated a new form of farm economy – the boarding house-farm. These were, from what we read and know of this period, almost without exception run by women. In Morin Heights, for example, these establishments were referred to as “Mrs. Charlie Seale’s” or “Mrs. Annie Kennedy’s” or just a family name, “Watchorn’s Farm” or “Campbell’s Farm”, with the presiding CEO always a woman. At this period, and well into the 1950’s, there was a strong cultural, almost religious, belief in the moral, as well as the physical, health benefits of the countryside as opposed to the town. Clean air and water and locally grown food, the so-called “simple life” of country people and the contact with animals and plants were viewed as morally improving, particularly for children.

just like arizona only colder with more snow

great first patrol/ranger day.  not many skiers out, slow conditions, beautiful and rather scary.  trees and boughs falling under v heavy wet snow all over the trails.  only did about 12km but my sciatica is flaring from my shoulder to heel.  there was no power when i got home so it was water the ducks and straight to bed [no bath:( ]. because you need to know this.
