SUMMER AT EDGEMOOR 2022

Lot 11 has sold to a very nice couple.

Summer in Edgemoor equates with scenic hikes, the song of meadowlarks, and wave after wave of valley edge flowers.

The mountain views have been spectacular, particularly in the mornings, and the sunsets have been vivid and memorable.

The air is fresh and clean, and the scents of grass and flowers waft up from the coulees. A recent sun shower produced a double rainbow.

5 homes have been built, another two well on their way.

The retention pond filled up nicely with the spring rains. It has been a bit dry this summer, so the water level has receded. Deer, ducks, geese and red-winged blackbirds visit.

We have been discussing the effects of COVID-19 on our lives out here with neighbours, and it appears that there is unanimity about the ability to cope so much better living in this environment. We allow residents to hike with their families on our privately-owned coulees to make it to the river and enjoy the flora and fauna.

Some have been working from home, and find that being surrounded by nature results in a sense of freedom the they didn't experience in the city. They feel the their kids are doing better out here!

So, it is with great anticipation that we await more home being built.
