A prime example is the cozy cottage my parents lived in a few streets over from us which held many happy memories. After my father died and we sold it, the whole thing was bull dozed in no time for a monstrosity that doesn't fit in with the other cottages. I'm glad you could capture the modest grandeur of this place before it fell too, perhaps one day the new homeowners might like to see the home previously on their property. <br />From all the construction in our rural pocket village the last few years, many animals besides the hares have been displaced. It is sad for those of us who care.<br />JudithJudith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-9334482798708732802013-12-03T19:34:35.537-05:002013-12-03T19:34:35.537-05:00New and exciting is the way to go?New and exciting is the way to go?Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171389134207433317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-58256932636384372292013-12-03T18:42:59.404-05:002013-12-03T18:42:59.404-05:00How sad that that cottage is gone and the trees to...How sad that that cottage is gone and the trees too. I wonder why they take out trees in these new sub-divisions. I guess with all the equipment, roads etc. it must be done and they start from scratch. Progress. I think your discovery of the meaning of the name Hardin is interesting. There are hares in our daughter's new subdivision that was once open farm land. Their homes have been destroyed and they hop around the dirt and trucks and equipment looking for a place to live.
