Our Ever-Changing Neighborhood

Our neighborhood is about 60 years old. Every year brings changes, as trees grow bigger - or are cut down... Houses are enlarged, or new ones built in the spaces between existing homes.














Our neighborhood used to feel like a spacious village, but that is changing...














New houses are so close to their neighbors!

Usually people tear down an existing house, move it, or add on. Walking around the neighborhood a few days ago, I stared in puzzlement at this change... What is is happening here?! Someone is painstakingly removing much of this house... What are they planning to do?














Are they planning to tear it down?! Or rebuild on the "skeleton" of the old house? Time will tell!














There aren't many empty lots. Here is one where a house was torn down a few years ago. I wonder what they are planning to do...

Whatever happens, I hope there will always be room for big trees!
