Squatting in the Woodpile

The wind-felled trees are cut and stacked. And now I have a sizeable woodpile, with plenty of nooks and crannies. Now, I would never squat in a woodpile (too risky), but plenty of others would, including rats and snakes... Both of which are native to New Hampshire.

Growing up, in the springtime I was fond of bringing frogs indoors from my gramma's woodpile. And when I lived in Hawaii, I found countless geckos and gecko eggs in an abandoned woodpile by a river.

Might you be a brave squatter? Decide for yourself: "Take open, notorious and continuous possession of the property; the possession must be hostile."
