Back Forty I-III

Today Ron and I went out in the side by side again and this time we went into the "back forty" which are the fields at the east end of the property before we get into the marsh and the Snelgrove Brook that divides our farm from the acreage we have on the other side of the marsh.














Back Forty I

He worked on removing the larger rocks that could break teach on the mower during haying season and put them into the dump box while I sketched.














Back Forty II

My first sketch was of the "fork" which is where the trail comes down from the middle field into the back field and branches off into the south back field and the south middle field.

My second sketch was of the entryway to the south bottom field with the large trees on each side.














Back Forty III

My last sketch was of the hill in the bottom middle field with the trail leading up to the small north field at the top, right beside the 4 acres (1.6 hectares) of sugar bush.
