The bulldozers and tree cutting monsters are here.  They are mainly clearing the trees.  The machine that is cutting the trees looks like something from a horror movie. It cuts a tree in a few seconds and then grabs it and tosses it. They have been really nice and stayed off my garden. But where we once had a thick barriar of trees between us and the road, now is nothing.  In fact, I'm sure people riding by now are saying, "Gee, I didn't know there was house there."


This has been coming for 10 years.  This is just the beginning..sigh. I'm not looking forward to it. We need to rent a place elsewhere until all this is over. 


OBTW when this is over there will be a 4 lane divided highway in front of our house. Just hard having reality show up in your front yard.

Sometimes progress is not pretty. I'm so sorry they're pulling down all your pretty trees. Sounds like the scene from Avatar that broke my heart.

Four lane highway will be a major adjustment - now you are EXPOSED to the world.

Shirley, I hate to see "progress" when they have to remove trees.

Well Karen the garden wasn't close to the road until now..lol. I just thought I had more time. Yep, next year will definitely find a new spot and plant trees where my garden is now.
