To us one of the attractions of this place is "checking up" on the many different wildflowers as they come up through the season. I still have the picture books I made in the earlier years to identify and document the wildflowers by months. I suppose that gets us out of the cabin so to speak and makes us walk. Doing the whole tour around the place, stopping to take pictures, walking over rough terrain straight through the forest, that takes about two hours.
Besides, we are truly away from things, the place is so quiet, you hear maybe two cars a day driving by!! If you wanted to write a book, that would be the perfect place to do it.
It is nice to sit by the pond and read.
I think we have about every fern and club moss and moss in the book, that is another whole kettle of fish. I tried to tackle the club mosses at one point, but I couldn't ever find a good system to id them, so I just look and enjoy them too. And don't get me started on the different grasses growing around the pond. This never ends.
Lindsey, there are several of these stacked stone walls. Properties like that were usually combined by marriage, and we see the remainder of those walls/borders.
