Houses, Houses, Everywhere...

Yet another new home is currently under construction in Stayton. This one has me particularly sad because it's being built where a wooded lot used to be. When I was a kid, a lot of us neighborhood kids would play there in our own little forest. At one point, some of the kids built a nifty dirt bike track going down the hill.

Two or three other houses had already gone into the lot, and this house will completely fill up the area. Things change, I suppose. At least a few of the trees have been kept. And it looks like it's going to be a nice house.

I hope they plant more trees. And bushes. And flowers. Anything green is good in my book. :)
