September 9

Just finished re-reading A Sand County Almanac. Amazing that this book was written over 60 years ago and the issues remain essentially the same. We seem to have made precious little progress in development of a land ethic or taking seriously our interdependence with the rest of God's creation.

Leopold's Almanac entries provide glimpses into the minutiae of nature--the many things we pass by without seeing every day. I don't live as in sync with nature as he did, but then I don't work in the field of nature management. I do enjoy my own little slice of nature and feel blessed by it daily, though.


Today's highlight - I love fountain grass!
