The old fence had to be replaced. <br />Thank you for stopping by. It is so appreciated.

I know all about having to let some jobs wait for another year. The work around here is never done.

This growing season looks a bit uncertain for us. We have not had enough snow this past winter. I'm afraid that we are heading for the next 5 year dry cycle, as we have experienced in the past.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-56283682156091510642012-05-14T07:03:02.946-06:002012-05-14T07:03:02.946-06:00Dear Meme, that is a very lovely compliment.

The most prominent features are big and little Horseshoe Mountain. Skyline Drive is known for its beautiful scenery and pristine wildlife and flora and fauna. <br />The fence is completed. Good money spent well, I think.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-44226041632037999472012-05-14T06:44:57.285-06:002012-05-14T06:44:57.285-06:00Dear Mark, The boys built a good and strong fence....Dear Mark, The boys built a good and strong fence. But the work is never done. Another fence needs attention. We'll take a breather first. This one should last long after we're gone. I took the picture of our house as I was coming back from the fields. It is the west elevation or the back of the house looking towards our pond. The other buildings are all to the east or the front of the house.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429484235583035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-46327667541214356932012-05-13T20:24:49.284-06:002012-05-13T20:24:49.284-06:00Gina, this has given me some insight into replacin...Gina, this has given me some insight into replacing our falling down split rail fences.

What is the name of the range!<br />A beautiful photo of your home.. surrounded with such beauty.<br />Good luck with the finalisation of the fencing.

Maybe it will last more than a hundred years. I think your old farrow looks very picturesque; it's certainly a time piece.
