It's a hard road to tow nowadays for sure.<br /><br />Hi Julia, thanks so much, I am hoping I can make something fruitful out of all these flowers. I know what you mean about trying to restore an abused property, if only folks knew how long it takes for things to grow to their full potential.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-61130639260885367942011-05-10T17:31:56.767-04:002011-05-10T17:31:56.767-04:00Your flower work is so interesting - all those bea...Your flower work is so interesting - all those beautiful textures! <br /><br />The person who owned our property before we did took out an entire orchard and all but a few trees because they wanted a more "contemporary" look (whatever that means!).

Also trees that have insect issues need to be taken down for safety reasons, or for powerline clearance etc. Hopefully there is a good reason for your neighbor's decision... especially since 2011 is the International Year of the Forest: Celebrating Forests for the People. http://www.un.org/en/events/iyof2011/cindy shakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353820195984269329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-86329458143896013962011-05-10T10:27:59.565-04:002011-05-10T10:27:59.565-04:00Hey Linda, thanks for your comments on the blog.

They find too much hardware from clothes line hooks, tree houses, and yard sale signs.Saw blades are expensive.Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-746104868044114932011-05-10T09:26:06.472-04:002011-05-10T09:26:06.472-04:00I'm sorry to hear that the trees including an ...I'm sorry to hear that the trees including an oak tree were cut down. Though I understand that they have the right to cut them down on their lot, I think it was very painful for the healthy trees. Last year, Park Division came and lopped off many branches of the cherry trees in the park nearby. What made some neighbors get angry was the way of cutting the branches. It was very rough. Unfortunately, there are some people, even some staff members in the Park Division. who lack the respect for trees that are fundamental to our life on Earth.☆sapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444996989089740303noreply@blogger.com
