Tear Down This Wall!

"When other people see that our hands are busy, they often give us a few moments' peace before making their next request. What they don't know (and we shall never reveal) is that when our hands are busy our minds can rest."

--Sarah Ban Breathnach

So much of our yard was covered in weeds, brambles twenty feet or so high clinging to trees, that we have been slowly, slowly clearing them away. We were careful to get the roots and the time we have taken is starting to pay off. No Roundup as we have lots of rabbits and birds we'd like to keep as friends. We now have some large spaces that are cleared and I'm planning whole new garden areas! I have cleared the land and fence between our house and our neighbors next door and now we can actually see one another through the fence. I feel a little like Ronald Reagan when he stood by the Berlin Wall, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

Here are a few of the cleared areas, lots of potential here!
