I Dream Of Picket Fences...Again

Our old picket fence in the city.

Do you dream of picket fences?

If you've been reading my blog for a while you already know that I used to have a picket fence. When we lived in the city we had a white picket fence and an arbor surrounding an English style garden. Then we moved to the old Victorian where we built another picket fence and because the existing pergola was aged wood I did a walnut stain on it. It looked like it had been there for many many years.

There is something very 'cottagy' about picket fences. Can you have a cottage and not have a picket fence?

Yes.

But would it have as much character?

I guess it depends on the person veiwing your cottage.

(please excuse the ratty looking early spring garden!)

Now here on the farm I'm am without my picket fence and I miss having one.

Fortunately for me we have a  destructive dog. Now what would be so fortunate about having a destructive dog you ask?
You guessed it...it means if we want to plant and keep a flower garden around the house we have to build a fence!
And guess what kind of fence I'd like ;-)
yep...a picket fence!

So...I'm dreaming of picket fences.
Again.

Here's a few beautiful fences

Are you dreaming of picket fences now?

 

I hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend.
