A century ago this  yellow brick farm house was someone's pride and joy. I wonder if houses remember... dream of yesteryear, take pride in the lives they sheltered? 

The city encroaches now, drawing closer every day.  Front end loaders, and earth movers stand at the ready, as the busy 401 highway thunders  close at hand. That proximity has made this location prime real estate, and an industrial park is planned. I know things change, time doesn't stand still, and these yellow brick houses once so emblematic of this region are in the way of progress, but still, lets take a moment to remember the pioneering spirit they stood for.

As we travel the 401 super highway that runs from Windsor Ontario to Montreal Quebec the landscape changes dramatically.

 At it's southern end, where I live, it runs through some of the worlds most fertile farmlands. 

 This is also one of the most densely populated areas in Canada, and this rich productive land is rapidly being bought up by developers. According to proposed Bill 21 ( MPP BA Braddy and Green Party leader M Schreiner) there is already enough land, that has been bought by developers, for over 2 million homes and projected industrial development, yet SW Ontario continues to lose 319 acres of farmland each and every day.....

When will this madness end!

On the edge of the City woods and fields still grow, don't look over your shoulder though, the 'dozers are coming. We can save this view, this habitat, these fertile grounds...but we must act now!
