A walking tour

On Friday our neighbors to the south stopped by to say hello. We talked for a few minutes but they didn't have a lot of time. He said he had gotten his tractor fixed and his bush hog* sharpened and would drive it over and mow some paths for us through the fields. I wasn't expecting him to do it so soon.

Apparently yesterday while we were at a wedding in Indianapolis he came by. This morning I found at least a half-mile of trail running up and down and up and down our hills.

Though it wasn't particularly hot today, especially compared to the last few weeks, it was humid and uncomfortable, so I took a break and took some pictures around the property. Here they are in my Picasa Web Albums space. They are in no particular order. I just walked along the various paths he mowed.

More than halfway through the album you can see the fence at the south boundary. Greene View Springs is on the left of the fence. The neighbor's property is on the right. The next two pictures show the west boundary fence as I walked north. Way in the distance you might be able to make out the state highway which is our north boundary at that point.

Near the end of the album you can see an enormous oak tree. The diameter of its foot print is at least 100 feet. And, finally, the last two pictures show views of the barn from the south west and along the north wall.

You're welcome to view other albums in my public space from various trips over the past few years. To do so, click on "Ed's Public Albums" near the top left of the page.

* It turns out that "Bush Hog" is the name of a company that makes equipment for homeowners, landscapers and agriculture. "Brush hog" describes a heavy rotary mower. Many people use "bush hog" for "brush hog" just as they use "Kleenex" for "facial tissue."
