Fern Gulley

Our neighbors at Holly invited us over to their property to see some of their projects. One of their many projects was a series of trails along a stream.  Pictures cannot do it justice.  Velda said it reminded her of the movie Fern Gulley.

They cleared out some brush to reveal a beautiful forest area.  Linda says she trims most of the ferns  Velda guessed over 400 ferns but by the way Linda laughed  and said it was way more than that but she enjoys it.  They have several acres - too many for us to do.

  

Arlen maintains the many trails which includes a bridge over the stream.

 

They have sitting areas so visitors can take in the beauty of this peaceful setting.  They have brought in hundreds of bricks to hold in the walls.  Those bricks are about 65 pounds each.

 

There is a dense canopy of trees so it is cool and shady and  lots and lots of beautiful moss along running and walking trails that they have opened up to the public to use.

This was a cement toad and the moss just took over.

Arlen and Linda have spent many hours on their peaceful piece of land.   If you think we spend alot of time working outside, we found someone else that does more and loves it too.
