there were 80 acres of undeveloped property behind our house when i was growing up.  80 acres of beautiful old oak trees, tall grasses, starthistle, blackberries, deer, coyote, rattlesnakes, & hawks.  my family always referred to it as "the 80 acres."  

as a little girl the woods were a vast space that represented things unknown and mysterious. i was curious, knowing that there was so much to discover just on the opposite side of the barbed-wire fence.
