Fenced In
Waterford, CT 2015
I've always wondered about large tracts of land or property that is fenced in, but not really totally secure. I could have easily walked around this fence and walked the property. From what I could see, there was really nothing on this property, but whoever owns it didn't want people walking back there. I think that at one time there was an airport located on this property, but I could see no signs of one from where I stood. The land is for sale, however, complete with the fence.

Split Rail Fence
Pomfret Center, CT 2015
Adding to the colonial charm of Sharpe Hill Vineyards are these split rail fences. They are also known as worm fences or snake fences due the way they meander along. This type of fencing must have been pretty popular in early New England and Connecticut. They require a lot of lumber, something that was in plenty abundance in colonial times. They are also easy to assemble requiring no nails or posts. Anyone from Connecticut can tell you, that it's next to impossible to dig a post hole anywhere in this state without hitting a rock. Believe me, I've tried on a number of occasions.
