But I wish I didn't worry so much about things like this, especially things I cannot control. =(i understand, MIchael. i'm originally from southeastern Oklahoma and when Weyerhauser (huge lumber company) came in the area, all of the butterflies, bees, toads, hummingbirds died due to the chemicals that they used to defoliate the woods. i remember my father, in his late years, being so upset because the butterflies didn't come to his flowers anymore and no hummingbirds to his feeders.
anytime we upset the ecological balance, it is bad news. you aren't alone in worrying about this.......xoxoxo pat
