The people that lived here before me on this very hilly spot of land dozed down all the tees and left bare soil that was poor anyway.
Then they put horses on it.
Too many horses and they destroyed the soil even more and much of it washed away.
The horses chewed up the side of a very nice oak tree out of boredom and much more.
We had a horse or two growing up but you couldn't tell it because we had so much land for them to run on.
Now I am letting the place grow back up with fast growing invasive china berry trees.
Why, because they are drought tolerant and smell nice in the spring.
