Since my return to the Ozarks, just north of you, I've seen:

Slate Juncoes

Meadowlarks

Zebra Swallowtails

Luna Moths

Robins

and, ALL the Spring foliage in bloom, providing sweet fragrance, and lovely colors.

The flags are up and opening, and the creamy dogwoods punctuate the limes and yellow greens of the new leaves peaking out on the awakening hardwoods.

I need only walk in the woods to reconnect to our amazing planet and let go the concerns of our dysfunctional species.
