There are pros and cons to economic growth and you've shown an example of both in your fascinating post. In many ways it's a disturbing set of photos for someone like me who has a certain mental image of unspoilt prairie terrain, taking for granted it will remain undisturbed and free from drastic construction activity. The change is a reality for you and coincides with personal changes. I trust that there are positives in your life right now to compensate for these other changes going on around you. All the best my friend. <br /><br /> Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-24449828305393603392015-04-30T22:32:13.895-06:002015-04-30T22:32:13.895-06:00Thanks so much, Amanda!

So I decided to tell the story behind the machines. When I discovered that earthmovers had arrived in my "Prairie Pocket" I was seriously depressed for several days; but I got on top of it. Fortunately, Arapahoe County voters have passed taxes to support open space and parks and did so when just about every other tax proposal went down in flames; also we have the Colorado lottery and its money goes to open space and parks throughout our state. But it is still hard! :( I shot the raindrop right out my bedroom window ~ LOL! have a lovely weekend!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-70519922965297065332015-04-30T22:14:48.458-06:002015-04-30T22:14:48.458-06:00Thanks for your thoughtful words, Jean!

The development I am living in was prairie less than 15 years ago, and it could be that we buy a new place in one of the developments. So I certainly can't point NIMBY fingers. But it is hard to see it go.

At one point there were eight of them roaring around in a huge figure eight ~ like maybe 3/4 mile long. I hate to see the prairie go because I've had such pleasure exploring it.

I had a a street paving crew in Honolulu jokingly try to take the box of malasadas I had walked miles to get from Leonard's Bakery. If I hadn't bought them for our hotel staff and cleaning ladies, I'd have shared them. I think sometimes people take for granted what they do and how hard it is. Happy Friday!
