Our little piece of niceness




I feel like it's not really ours and yet it seems so familiar. It's been heartbreaking cutting trees down to make a path, but I know that we are doing something good. We've decided to plant at least one new tree for every one that we cut. It's very sad to see them go. They crack before they fall and shake the ground like dinosaurs as they hit. But maybe the sadness of each tree cut is simply a reminder that this is a new beginning. There's grief in change. Cutting the old down and planting new. -Chrissy

Hi! We've got similar blogs, I think! Or, er... situations. :)

It's sad taking down trees I know but you can use them for firewood next winter. Or maybe you'll find a building use for them.

Keep on writing!
