I am beginning to feel a kinda magical connection with the past when I try and imagine those who walked on the same land before me and what this land was like before them...A one mile thick glacier, etc. Astounding nutrient for thought!

When I was in junior high there was some project that involved me going to research the old deeds for our property and found one transfer from the late 1700s that granted the seller the right to graze on the property. Of course by then the whole 25 acres was forested with huge trees but on the far corner is a giant pine about 4 feet across with a barb wire running right through the middle. Probably nailed on when the tree was just a couple years old. History is fascinating
