And it seems our new neighbors don't like trees.
All weekend, they have had a crew here.
Cutting down every tree in their back yard.
About 20 so far have been cut down.
Huge, tall, old, trees.
Trees reaching for the sky.
It's sad and depressing.
Their choice, their perogative, I know.
But still, sad and depressing.
The view has changed in our backyard.
And they aren't done.
The lush green, the shade...
Sunlight is now streaming in.
I'm hiding in the den.
Door closed.
Music playing.
(Ironically, you've got a friend right now)
But I'm hiding.
From the sound of the chainsaw.
The birds are confused.
Gonna need to buy some more birdseed.
Don't want to be a downer....
I'll focus on the sunlight streaming in.
Think Like a Tree
Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling.
