Farmer's walls are a different kind of fence and are ubiquitous throughout New Hampshire. Consensus is that these walls were built not as boundaries but to prevent sheep from wandering about. A good question is why these walls were built from rocks and not lumber as both are plentiful in the Granite State. Perhaps the Yankee desire for hard work and durability is the answer. By the way, it's actually been recorded that in the first half of the 19th century approximately 800,000 to 1 million sheep were being raised between New Hampshire and Vermont.

Roadrunner (my 1st new car), we probably weren't that much warmer here in FL this morning, 41 deg F, than you. Yes, Hawaii would be a very nice place to be!
