What a beautiful morning here in the desert. We had a rare sprinkle of rain last night and it left the morning cool (90) and full of birds and insects flying all around. I have hummingbird feeders everywhere and they now come several times a day to my kitchen window to feed. I love it.
I went out and worked on my morning glory vines I have trained along my front yard fence. It is beautiful and it was a beautiful morning to be out in the yard appreciating all the wondrous plants and wildlife we have in the desert.
I was raised in the desert. My Dad used to love to go out hiking in the middle of no where looking for arrow heads and indian pottery. We would occasionally find some and I beleive he still has some put somewhere. This is a valley surrounded by mountains of red, purple and blues, like no where else on the planet. In the winter the mountains are snow capped and beautiful.
I see the spendor of the desert and I do my best to protect it. What a shame that people who have moved here think the desert is barren, ugly and a good place to dump a old couch or their construction renovation trash. Makes me sick!
I will never understand why people take this beautiful planet for granted. Makes no sense at all. When I hear that man is the only species that trashes and destroys it's own home you realize we really are not too smart. I recall the old commercial of the 1970's where a Indian chief stands looking over his beautiful wilderness, then you see trash thrown all around and they pan to his face which now has a tear running down his face. I feel like that sometimes. How sad it is. How can people be so stupid, so uncaring and so thoughtless? I don't care if people call me a tree hugger.
I'd rather hug a tree than a CEO!
Hey, maybe Sierra Club needs me to email this comment to them to use in their causes! As a matter of fact I'd rather hug a whale or a owl or a viscous Hyena than a CEO and I am sure i would come out ahead and better off than if I had hugged the CEO of any conglomerate corporation we have in this nation today.
If all the corporations went away today we would still have the beautiful streams and mountains. We would still have birds flying overhead and fish in the ocean but the same is not true the other way around. It seems no matter what part of the world you go to there is a corporation destroying SOMETHING....A lake, a entire Ocean, the air or the trees.
How can anyone think that is okay all in the name of greed? How can anyone think it is right and respectful of our home, Mother Earth? Makes no sense. As you can see the environment is one of my top priorities. I vow to fight for it and do what I can to protect it. I recycle more than anyone within a mile radius of where I live. I do not go driving all around Willy Nilly from one place to the next just for the fun of it. Many weeks my car stays unmoved for the entire week. I love that. I live in a town with little to no public transportation so the car is king here but I always try to make the best of my route which I try to plan ahead of time so i am not being wasteful. When i am forced to drive across town I think what else is over there i have been meaning to do so I can make the best of that trip. Teenagers cruising around town just because they have a car makes me crazy! Parents need to teach responsibility in this regard. It is NOT a American tradition to continue on with.Oil is too valuable, to precious. I beleive in teaching kids to be responsible stewards of our resources not users and abusers...Oh well, there I go again...Tree Hugger! :)
