The Back Forty





Our home in Richmond was on about a quarter acre. We've moved up to 4/10 acre here. It seems to stretch forever. The back part of the lawn is really overgrown and we plan to bushhog it soon. But before we can even do that, we have to pull down some unsightly fencing. I worked on that one afternoon this week. I had to pull some of it out with the truck: it had fallen over and had grass and weeds and small trees growing through it! But we found some pretty lilies also; we'll know in a couple of weeks what they are. My efforst with the truck drew a crowd of one from across the street. He reported that amongst the weeds are blackberries. That may be, but they'll probably have to be sacrificed for aesthetics. In time they may grow back in a more manageable way, but for now they'll soon be history. There are some shots from around the back of the yard.
