The thing I missed the most was the birds. I had purple martins and lots of song birds. Had several pairs of bluebirds nesting on my property also along with Hollywood finches in hanging flower baskets. I had 10x the song birds than I see in my area down here. Not uncommon to see 15 different songbirds on my feeders everyday. Course the had plenty of hummingbirds also. Even had screech owls nesting in box I made for them. In one bluebird box had flying squirrel. He would fly from my 50 or so blackjack oaks. With all the blackjack oaks I had riding mower with cyclone rank attached. Sucked up acorns and twigs. Left my yard looking like east lawn at then White House. I also had several fruit trees. Loved my Rainer cherries! So, yes I miss it.
