I'm so sorry you have to live near such horrible people. Really. Bad. Neighbors. I'm about at the end of my rope living in a similar situation.

A close friend of mine (who was a long time DUer who has passed) told me that he believed it was important to say a prayer (of any kind, of any faith or simply a farewell if you're non-religious) every time you cut down a tree.

That stuck with me and I have said a silent farewell every time a tree had to be downed on my property. Just a couple, it's small.

Tree haters on top of the hill. Ain't that the picture of Trump and everything wrong with the world?

I hate to see trees cut down unnecessarily, I live in a rural area that used to be all woods and we still have wildlife Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #10

So many people have to make their mark Marthe48 May 2024 #11

I love having trees, but my neighbors cut them down to make it easier to mow their postage stamp lawns Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #12

I hear you Marthe48 May 2024 #13

I sure can sympathize. If they object to trees, get an apartment downtown, problem solved. Rhiannon12866 May 2024 #14
