Stone wall reflections (audio)

On my walk through the Franklin Town Forest, I came upon an Eagle Scout project doing some trail work. That and the stone walls I find in these woods prompt the reflections as I think out loud and share my thoughts today.

Enjoy!

"Before I built a wall I'd ask to knowWhat I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence."

two parallel walls at one point in the Franklin Forest

welcome mat

Stone wall, nice fence. Ceremonial or functional?

What presence do you create?

Is there a welcome mat on your front porch?

Lessons from a stone wall in the making

There is an art to building a stone wall. Stone upon stone, lying together. Supporting each other. Stronger together than alone. Something for us to learn from!

The stones fit, somewhere
If they didn't they ended up on the pile

Another stone wall to fall in love with. The simplicity of this one; stone laid upon stone, no mortar. The top layer angled. The contrast of colors. The contrast of layers. The contrast of angles.

Nice workmanship!
