Defeat.
I have spent every spare minute, and many minutes I did not actually have, trying to find a solution to the large tree my HOA is planting behind my home, but to no avail- the London Plane trees are being planted every 40 feet along my property in the next 2 weeks and will completely take away my view of the mountains.
{playing games on my back patio- next time, there will be a tree right behind Kelly and every 40 feet in both directions.}
I'm too tired and emotional to recount the details but I will say that this experience has left me cynical, bitter and disappointed.
I hope that tomorrow I will be able to say how grateful I am to have free time again, but today I'm too busy mourning the loss of my view, the time that was wasted and the voice I could not make heard. (Would you have ever thought MY voice could not be heard Jill?!!)

I'm sorry, I hate that! I hate it when you work so hard on something that means so much and they don't even care!
I'm SO sorry. It's so frustrating when your hard work and time are ignored. Hang in there...Maybe there'll be some good things about the trees (shade?)...it'll work out.
No, I can't believe your voice wasn't heard! Especially since you feel so passionately about this situation and did so much research. I am so sorry about this!
It's frustrating that you can't win them all. But at least you FOUGHT! I really admire that about you Jenn. I hope you feel better about it soon. LOVE YOU!
*HUGS* I actually heard some ladies today at the park talking about the trees and the fight and how unfair it all was.
At least you will know that 83% of the people you talked to were and still are in favor of YOUR plan-- Not the HOA.
I'm still trying NOT to be bitter and think bad thoughts.
I really can't believe you weren't heard on this! You did so much work researching and talking to people, and you were so passionate. I felt sure you would prevail. That must be so disappointing, Jenn.
