The Neighbors' Tree- One more thing gone.

9. It's good you were all able to escape.

I agree with you about the reverence for trees. The road I live on was mostly farm land and about 20 single family homes down the road. Then the local hospital moved it's location less than 2 miles away. That coupled with the State putting through a bypass very near here caused a lot of farmers to sell their land. Now a lot of high end housing units were built up the road mostly owned by doctors. My sister and I kept 10 acres of my grandfather's farm, and a few of the closer neighbors want to preserve open space too, so at least nobody is crowding us, but the rich idiots from up the road drive by going 90 in a 45 mph zone. I don't even dare stand on the side of the road anymore to get my mail. Sherrif's do their best to catch ans ticket them, but they can't be here 24/7. So I got one of those mail boxes with flaps on both sides.
