The history behind the neighbor's house & trees. Mike's friend used to live there & he moved away. Then Gwen & her husband move in sometimes in late 70s to early 80s. She is gardener & love plant many flowers/bushes/trees all over her yard. She planted those trees to lined up her property to obstruct the view of traffic. Gwen & her husband had to sell the house in mid 90s to move in with her husband's mom who was ill. Mark & Sharon moved in late 90s & live there ever since. In June 2006, the storm destroy Galestown bridge/dam which caused insects infested on our trees, bushes & flowers & it gotten so bad & killed a lot of plants/trees. They finally built the bridge/dam back in 2007-2008 before our Sophie was born. Sallie (Mike's Mom) have been living here since late 60s & saw so much change in the neighborhood. Her aunt, Rita, who live across from Mark & Sharon (just around the block from us) have lived here nearly her whole adult life. We don't know what's going on with those trees being cut down ~ all we knew is they want to cut them down for years. We will find out more from Ms Rita what are they planning to do ~ leave it like that or plant new trees.
Sallie is kind of happy gal right now because she always love the view of pond & her neighbors' houses for years til Gwen planted those trees. Also the breeze always come off the pond & those trees always block the breeze to our way.
Those trees are the ones they're cutting down along their property (those are remaining trees that haven't been cut down yet or not). Took this pic from the backyard:
Here's beautiful view of the pond & the bridge. There were trees that obstructed the view for us & we couldn't see anything before this. Now it would be easier for me to watch for girls' school bus coming home. We are happy to see they cut down those trees.
Front of our driveway ~ all trees are gone. Now we are able to view our neighbor's yard:
Those trees haven't cut down yet ~ don't know how far they are going to cut down those trees. As you can see right in front of you, the trees are damage due to insects.
That's where the crew left off from yesterday (see the difference between closure & opening)
Opening view (where they did most of tree cutting). Is it beautiful? She got beautiful yard. Every year, they did Christmas lights show & they did amazing job. My girls love seeing it every night & waiting for them to turn on the lights & screaming thru the windows that they turned on the lights.
