Because people who live in far northern locations have very short attention spans. I myself come from Alaska and I can assure you... Oooh look! A bird just flew by my window! WHEEEE!!

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
