I live in a beautiful house with a beautiful pond in the backyard. Surrounding our side of the pond were about 45 tall trees. They provided shade, homes for various tree dwelling creatures and a pretty view. Until TBR decided to cut them down. They felt that the power lines were going to be damaged in some way by the trees....so they chopped every single one of them down. And put them all in a gigantic wood chipper.
It probably took 20 plus years for those trees to grow....but only 3.5 days to cut them down.
They left the twisted stumps as a reminder that once, trees stood tall.
My mom has been standing at the kitchen bay window screaming "are you done with the rape of the trees!?!?!" for a couple of days. The birds circle our house and hop around our yard. My cats are in really pissy moods and won't leave the window (for the most part). It's really sad....and I feel terribly hopeless. (not to mention disturbed that my mother keeps screaming about the rape of the trees....geez, talk about dramatic!) Our backyard looks naked now...and I'm fairly sure that the neighbors can see into our house....pitty. Now we have to keep the kitchen extra clean.
