I don't have a choice in the matter. The person who owns this property on the edge of the vineyard out back took down the electrified fence that separates the woods from the vines several weeks ago. He only put it up in the first place a few years ago. Tasha and I have enjoyed walking through these woods again. But now I see signs (not literal signs) of the fence getting replaced. A few days ago, brightly painted re-bar stakes showed up with little flags tied to them that could indicate where new fence posts would go.
A few of the old fence posts are visible in this photo.
I believe the fence is there to keep deer out of the adjacent vineyard. I don't know how well it works, but it keeps us from walking through the woods. Oh well. We'll enjoy it while we can.
Ah, that’s a shame.. it looks a lovely woodland walk. But deer do strip bark off trees in winter when grub is short. C’est la vie! Pats🚜.

ReplyDeleteseize the day!
ReplyDeleteWouldn’t the fence have to be eight feet high to keep deer out of the vineyard?

I hope you get a few more walks in the woods before it goes up.
ReplyDeletepats, funny!
ReplyDeletemitch, it's nice to be able to walk there, but the grape growers' needs come first!
evelyn, so I should stop carping...
bettyann, these are roe deer, quite small.
judy, me too!
Well, I was so busy yesterday I am just now reading your blogs. I cannot for the life of me see any posts. There is one cylindrical - looking post at maybe a 45 degree angle going from the ground to the right. Is that one of te remaining posts? It is too dark for me to identify them.
