Yes!!! Most developers know nothing and care even less about the land. We must teach our younger generation or the generation after them will not be able to eat much less have flowers.

Such a good story or is it a truth telling? I too was a free range kid & from that developed my love of nature-all of it. Seeing disregard/disrespect for our earth is so disturbing & seeing human lack of compassion for those in need is truly 💔 Thanks for reaching out & teaching in all the ways you do

Well,, IDK but most of my stories are truth. Tomorrow’s substack is going to be fiction though.

We had a remarkable childhood. We must instill and encourage that sense of wonder. "Come home when the lightening bugs appear."
