you know that warm, comfy feeling you have when something is familiar to you? and do you also know the feeling you get in your gut when something familiar to you suddenly is taken away? I am feeling those right now.

we have neighbors who we have known since we moved here. she passed away last summer and now he is having flowers removed, trees cut down, etc. they were not only our neighbors, but friends of ours. I guess I should say, still are friends of our. rather, he is a friend of ours.

I had given my female friend neighbor, whom I will call B, hostas and day lillies in years past. all of them were to be moved. the daughter of the neighbors had to dig up many flowers and throw them away or move them to her home.

the feeling I am feeling inside is sadness.....those flowers, trees, meant so much to B. and now they are gone. today a huge pine tree out front has been cut down, a flowering tree that was near and dear to B is gone and a tree out back is gone.

gone.
