Big yellow taxi

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you got till it's gone? They paved paradise to put up a parking lot...

My Dad told me last night that by the time I come home to visit this summer, they'll have finished the parking lot in our backyard. Do you know why that's sad?

Well, here's a picture of my backyard:

Or here's another way I remember it (since I'm always home at Christmas in Minnesota...):


Yeah. (Sniffle) They truly are paving our little farm paradise. I love that we live on the edge of town. No more I guess. Well, it's gonna be a city park or something like that... which doesn't totally make sense because a huge city park is in our FRONT yard, but whatever. That's civilization for ya.
