I haven't had time to walk the boundary of our property yet. I know it is in the shape of a rectangle and is 200' wide and 405' long. I also know that the corners are supposed to be marked by metal stakes. I found the two stakes on the back side of the property yesterday with Youngest Daughter. We have some really big trees, a stone wall within the stone wall that surrounds our property, and even some grapes growing in the trees that border the meadow behind our property.
Our house sits in the front-left of our property as you face it. You can tell to the right that at one time it was kept fairly clear but that the previous owners let it go. I know this is true now because I found a white hydrangea in the middle of the woods just like the ones that are planted on the corner of our house near the deck. It is a fairly tall bush so it is evident that it has been around for a while. I think I'll dig it up and plant it closer to the house.
