In 2004 this is how the back BORDER STONE WALL appeared. You can see the old RAIL ROAD TIES to the right.
Letha's cousin Joan was visiting with her husband Bill.

In 2007, Vern had extended the wall to where
it was to turn south toward the road.

Vern had to cut several major roots to the tall pine trees. The drain pipe he installed in 1997 runs tight along the edge of the old shed.
This is how the wall
appeared in 2008,
behind the new patio
of concrete blocks.
Letha's brother Bob and wife Mary
had come to visit by train.

Back in the corner you can see
a pipe extending above the wall.
That was intended for placing
a yard light on top.
The conduit extended from an
outlet in the wall where another
conduit exented down and turned
west along the back of the shed.
The wiring was never completed
by me.

On a trip
back to

pick up an

lug like
I used
when picking
cherries as
a youth.
We purchased
some sweet
cherries and
to take a
photo to see
how the lugs
appeared
back in the 40's/
