Up to the Ledges and Over
Yesterday we hiked to the knoll beside my farmer boy's mountaintop farm. Baby on papa's back and the six and three-year-old hiked alongside the other three adults. My roommate from nursing school was visiting from Charleston, South Carolina. It was a delightful walk.
A Delightful Hike
The kids and I sang and looked for newts which were numerous. Acorns and oak leaves galore had come down in the hail storm the day before. We found a few ripe blackberries. Summer in New Hampshire is wonderful.
Daniel made sure to point out the stone walls going up the mountain. The interesting thing about this stone wall was the way it went to the granite ledges and then continued on top of the ledges. I’d never seen a stone wall do that. The stone walls marked the old property boundaries and are extensive throughout New England.
I thought the stone walls also fenced in the farm animals, but I was completely wrong about that!! Thanks to Daniel for setting me straight.
Fencing Stories
From time to time you'll pass old wire mesh fencing in the woods, sometimes some barbed wire on old cedar posts. If only the fences could talk! Imagine the stories of people and animals, houses and barns.
