Exactly what part of my wish is for my Restore the Peace dream. Putting the trees back -- or, to be more truthful, putting in new ones.
Thinking some more about reforestation, I'm wondering whether the brave souls at Fairy Creek will manage to save those old-growth giants, rather than having them gone, and having to start over again with tiny sprouts that will take hundreds of years to match the Grandfather and others in that grove.
But yes, it's Earth Day, with its theme of Restore Our Earth, and best news is probably that Joe Biden seems to have shamed Justin Trudeau into making a few more promises (which I sure hope he lives up to this time). Yes, we've heard his song-and-dance before, but maybe with the US holding his feet to the fire, he'll listen.
Clearly, this is not my happiest Earth Day, as it doesn't seem we're making much in the way of progress.
Good thing the ferns in the yard are doing the same good job they do every year of coming back into greenness, their own miraculous restoration.
Onward we go, hopefully towards truly Restoring Our Earth before it is too late.

I wish they would understand that new trees cannot become old growth within a few years. I wish those who have the most power on this planet would understand the obligation we humans have to preserve this life.
Those are great wishes, ones I hope will come true.
