To the memory of a hill



This is the still-existing snowy winter view behind our house.

(I cannot show you what the view used to look like. There used to be a dense forest all the way up that hill. It was the home of lots of deer, squirrels, and opossums. You might notice that now there's an ugly black tarp stretching halfway up the hill, and behind it... no forest. The mean people killed our forest this past fall and destroyed our hill. Next winter, this view will be even more ruined, for they're planning to build on top of that hill. In the summer, there's still a jungle between us and them, but sadly, the lovely winter view will be lost forever.)
