Very Sad

As part of the deck re-building process, a bunch of trees & shrubberies are being cut down in my back yard. This makes me very sad. We usually have dozens of beautiful birds popping around, including Cardinals and some brown bird with a very orange beak. (Maybe a female Cardinal?) Squirrels, and a possum that makes a rare night appearance.

The guys are back there with chainsaws cutting things down. I saw the bird with the orange beak earlier, and she gazed in at me as though to say "Dude! What's the deal?"

We're going to plant more stuff! Really! But for now, the back yard is not the green happy paradise is usually is. And that is very sad.
