You were right. The chainsaws have not stopped yet.
I am sorry to have to be the one to tell you.
They are taking down the pecan now. At least you are not here to see it go, but you will no doubt see its end.
It was the poplar they destroyed earlier. Now the hawks will have no home to come back to.
My tears are for our old friends and how their loss will impact you. And for the hawks who have lost their home today.
And for everything else.
