Tracy! What a lovely piece of writing. Your words remind me of the opening lines of Tolstoy’s “Resurrection”.

“Though hundreds of thousands had done their very best to disfigure the small piece of land on which they were crowded together, by paving the ground with stones, scraping away every vestige of vegetation, cutting down the trees, turning away birds and beasts, and filling the air with the smoke of naphtha and coal, still spring was spring, even in the town.”
