Sad story

(1965 August)

The new tenants in Lulu [Barnes]'s house [next door], the Leo Dobbs, got a man with a power saw to cut down all the smaller trees in her woods [downhill towards the Mill Pond]. It was a fearful sight with trees falling like weeds from a scythe. They all are lying there dying. That was such a nice piece of woods in the raw, loved by birds, but then, they yanked out the bird feeder too.
