I think daily of Carson's Silent Spring as my yard becomes more and more bereft of its former soundscape and busy creatures of all kinds. I imagine that city folk have no clue about all this, unless they are critter-watchers. We and those intrepid science scholars have become the iconic canaries, shrieking into the wind about what is happening.
Heaven help us all.
It sure feels alarmingly like spring, far too early this year. Our little orchard crop is certainly doomed!
Go outside, everyone, and be grateful for all you see at present. Explain and apologize to your grandkids, if you have any!
