The cows in my backyard have been replaced with bulldozers

I have 55 acres behind me and I loved having cows for neighbors! The cows are gone and I listen to a bulldozer all day, every day and I know the houses are coming. Another residential neighborhood is under construction and this area is almost bursting at the seams. I never heard sirens and now I do on a daily basis. The road I live on is 30 miles and even the eighteen wheeler’s go over the speed limit doing 60 plus. On the weekends, I hear cars going by so fast that sometimes during the day, I can’t tell you what color the car was! I’m going to miss this place, I watched the bunnies chasing each other in my backyard. But the houses are coming, so I’m going to get going.
