| falling down shed at Joey's |
We live on 80 acres, in a development of 6 forty acre+ lots.
Yesterday I was wandering Joey's acreage, the one with the original farmhouse
and barn that he torched 12 years ago. His land used to be easy to walk.
Now it is overgrowing and difficult. I had decided to walk to the farm pond
which used to be pretty easy to get to. It used to be in the midst of nothing
on the edge of the cleared field.
Now the field is full of trees and two houses are close by, within sight.
Our little undeveloped sub development has developed.
It was wonderfully magical way back
when I didn't share this space
when it was mostly untouched and mostly uninhabited and oh so quiet and wild
and only me enjoying the 240 acres.
Progress, time marching on.
It touches us all even when we try to get away and hide away from it.
