I noted with amusement that the horse and sheep had their own pasture. The two pastures were separated by a hedgerow. Hedgerows are not there by accident. I was curious to read an article that went into some depth about the usefulness of hedgerows. It was also bemoaning the fact that many were being destroyed by new developments. The hedgerows provide homes for many plants, small animals and birds and their loss would be felt by all. It was a convincing argument and I am not doing it justice with these meager comments.

Two Fields separated by a HedgerowThe fields in Ireland are sereneThose away from the road are rarely seen We wandered through several fields and came to a hedgerow Beyond which we could not go Rocks, dirt and plants of all sorts, blocked our advance Jumping a tricklet of a stream, we didn't want to chance Hedgerows are full of living beauty Look closely, it is all there to see We journeyed back across the fields to our car We marvel sometimes at where we are. |
