Change....

So this morning we woke up to Truman barking, which is not all too uncommon, but we also heard some working machinery coming from next door (this is not too uncommon lately either). We went back to sleep and later when we decided to get up and go outside we realized they were cutting down one of the trees just west of our property line. There are 3 big trees there that are our only source of shade we thought they were staying, but I guess we thought wrong. They recently knocked down the 100 year old house just west of us. It was a neat old home but it was in need of major repair & restoration that would not come cheap. It has changed hands a few times the last couple of years and we were aware the new owners were going to develop the land. I wasn't too upset about it, but Mike is definitely not excited about it. The view from our deck changed when the house was gone and now it has changed again with the tree gone. Since they only removed 1 tree we are assumming the other 2 are staying, I sure hope so. I guess change is exciting and good, but it is a little sad as well.
