Gaines Land

I've been thinking about our walk in the woods yesterday. We ventured onto some of the Gaines land, which we now own. I imagine it has been years since anyone with Gaines blood has been on that land. I may be the first in a long, long time. The little area of land we covered is strewn with rotting logs, a thick floor of leaves, mushrooms, sticks, rocks, water trickling along, briars, strange things, wonderful things. I can just imagine what might be there this summer, snakes, bugs, spiders. Interesting things. I like knowing the land is there. Dabney Gaines owned it many years ago, and a lot more land, this is the last of it. We intend to always keep it in the family.
