In looking about the internet for inspiration, I ran across a new blog. Here’s a link to the article that hooked me, but I hope you’ll take some time to explore more of Margaret Emerson’s excellent writing:

Thanks for posting this link Jennifer! It’s always great to hear from other folks who are also concerned about our culture’s detachment from nature. I really enjoyed Margaret’s blog, and am glad to have found you both!
I’d have to agree with Margaret. Why are nature blogs so popular? Because many don’t experience the real thing. I’m so glad I grew up in the days when parents had a hard time getting kids to come in the house, rather than go out.
