Friday Fence Post #5

My friend and I went antiquing, walking along the quaint streets of a little town. Of course I had my camera, and of course I was on the lookout for cool architecture and fences!

Such a pity this house is so run down. It would be gorgeous all fixed up.

Sometimes I have romantic notions of restoring an old house but I think I would get frustrated if I lived there during the renovations. I don't like things being out of place and undone. But I love the history of older homes and the wonderful details that are missing from most of today's homes.

Maybe one day someone will give this house the TLC it needs. Can't you just imagine sipping a mint julep on the porch on a warm summer day? :)

Friday Fence Post #4

There really is a fence under all that snow! This was my backyard a month ago. The snow was pretty but I'm glad it's gone...I'm so ready for spring to be here!

Snowing!

A little bird came swooping by me and flew into "The Snow Cave". All the wax myrtles are weighed down with snow and are touching the ground in places. It reminds me of the magical scene in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe where Lucy discovers the snowy woodlands in the back of the wardrobe.

We are getting dumped on (at least for our zone 7b area)! Accumulation at present is 6 inches. That is A LOT for us; we usually don't get more than an inch. The falling snowflakes are getting bigger as the afternoon goes on! Yikes!

Friday Fence Post #3

Wow, is it Friday again already? This month is flying by! It is time for my weekly fence picture, so without further ado, here it is--

Confession: I was really photographing this gnarled old tree and just happened to get this mossy fence in the background, but it IS a fence after all, so it qualifies! :)

The entire middle has died out of this tree, leaving two shells which are still alive and prolific with leaves!

How old do you suppose this tree is? It lives in Colonial Williamsburg, so my guess is that may be a couple hundred years old. What do you think?

Here's another gem of a fence from Colonial Williamsburg. I love this gate, so pretty and unique!

Friday Fence Post #1

A fellow blogger friend is doing a series on Fridays called "Friday Fence Post" and has invited me to join! Since I love fences, and they're often used to contain gardens, I thought I would join the fun and share it with you!

Of course, I'm two days late I realize, but better late than never! :)

So, without further ado, here is my first fence post--

This one comes from Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia. I just happened to photograph several fences while visiting. I'm glad I did!!
