Memories

I remember sitting on my mothers lap as we pulled up to the house that we called home, back then there were no cars seats. The road along the front yard was lined with tall hedge of cedars, Out front were two big old apple trees with thick and lumpy trunks and large limbs reaching to the sky. When we reached the center of the hedge, there was a three board white double gate, it's construction was like that of a wooden horse fence. When they widened the road to build the bridge over the newly completed train line to the south, they came with a letter that explained expropriation and how it would effect us. In the process they cut down the cedar hedge and move the fence back ten feet, the workmen brought my older sister a baby robin to try to nurse back to life. One of the old large apple trees had to be removed also, the place would never look the same.
