Hello. I am back from a long hiatus due to health issues and I plan on just writing about whatever comes to me. Like today’s story.

I was on my way home from dropping my husband off at work. There is a busy road named Henderson Ext that has a lot of doctors, dental, and alternative medicine offices. There are a few empty buildings (thanks Covid!) and a few open spots for building. Yet….YET….a construction company tore down about an acre (maybe a little bit more) of trees for a business that is moving there from farther up the road.
It always hurts me when I see more of Nature being destroyed, but today I damn near cried. I drove past said destroyed ecosystem and saw a mockingbird fly down and stand on the sidewalk and just stare at the destruction of his home. Due to driving I couldn’t stop and take the photo, but I found one on Unsplash (go give this artist some love!).
Anyhoo, people get pissy about critters, creatures, etc constantly coming into their yards. What the f*** do they expect the wildlife to do when THEIR homes are being destroyed? Human beings are awful. And yes, I donate to wildlife organizations, bird organizations, environmental organizations on a regular and sign petitions constantly.
After reading my story, please go find an organization (especially if you have local chapters), and either donate money, time, or sign some petitions to try and save what wildlife and natural habitats we have left!
