Fence Deep in the Woods


This post is a "Thank You" post to Jacob and Lois Anne, who love stone fences and who were kind enough to present me with an "I Heart this Blog" Award. Be sure to stop by their site at The Villages Daily Photo.

When you see stone fences deep in the woods, you must understand that once upon a time, maybe two to three hundred years ago, this was not a forest, rather farm land or pasture devoid of trees. Many find it hard to believe that New England used to be the breadbasket of the New World before the move west.

Another interesting fact, there are more trees in America today than when the pilgrims landed.

That is interesting. Do you know why that is the case B Squared?

Thank you for visiting Arradon DP and taking the time to write a comment! I'm happy you enjoy the music I choose (nearly) every day to fit to (with?) my photos.
And now, I know your own blog, we are so numerous now!
Have a good day in your woods!
