Another traumatic episode, of a different nature was getting the wooded area behind my house ripped out to allow big machinery to come in and dig a trench for a new water line. I know that I can plant new trees come spring and that nature will take over quickly and fill this with new growth, but the house feels naked without its comforting cloak of leaves and bark and needles… The upside is that I have much better water pressure now and much cleaner water too!
