A thought about trees

I like trees. Trees are good for you. Trees are your friend. Anybody who thinks we don’t need trees is an Enemy of the Environment.

As for MY trees, we have a lot of them on our property. Mostly, they are relatively small cedar trees, which is why we decided to name our place (yeah, weird, but it’s a family tradition) “Cedar Grove.”

I was a little worried about my trees yesterday because I saw a series of orange dots painted on the ground on the new neighbour’s side. The trees are very close to the property line but if you sight along the back fence, they seem to be on my side. Since the survey was done in 1923, the accuracy over time may be called into question.

So I was worried the new neighbour might have thought they were his and might try to cut them down because they are very close to his house. However this morning, there were two guys BUILDING A FENCE where those orange dots were. The trees are safe on my side for sure now.

I don’t know how I feel about being fenced in like that… and how a silly fence will make the street look… even though the fence building guys said it’s going to be a low fence… but that is another issue.
