Humans did right by making national parks!

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." John Muir We often talk about nature as something separate... from ourselves, forgetting that we ourselves are hitched to it, as much as modern life can sometimes make us feel disconnected. In a time when we are all asked to stay close to home, we are presented with the perfect opportunity to get to know our neighbors: the plants and animals in our own backyards and local parks that we might normally overlook. We might even find unexpected beauty in the seemingly ordinary things happening around us: the sound of a bird outside our window, the bark on a tree in our local park, the subtle signs of the seasons beginning to change. What kinds of plants and animals have you noticed in your neighborhood? How do you "stay hitched" to nature at home?

The days are getting colder and the night sky comes sooner. Looking forward to this next winter.
