STONE WALLS

Stone walls were erected at times for boundaries, of course, between landowners but also to get the stones in another place on farms so the land was cleared of the rocky terrain and made somewhat agricultural. As a boy, I used to climb onto stone walls and not just over them...and attempt to walk along them, often spying snakes wriggling and 'snaking' through the stones, sometimes large slabs and other times just rocks........some the walls have been destroyed by vandals and others who take the rocks for their own landscaping purposes.....the modern, manmade ones look nice, but there is something about an old, heavy weatherbeaten rock......sort of like what my face is getting to look like, perhaps...
