Old Fashioned Picket Fence

I just love these old fashioned magenta flowers in front of the picket fence. It just says “cottage style” so well.

Thank you so much Lois.

Thank you so much, Lori.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your comments.

hahha, you are so funny, Blair. My first picket fence I designed myself and we put up 17 sections that were 8 feet long. We had built a jig at the recommendation of a friend, but it made it very easy to replicate the exact design. We also built , many to sell at my nursery. What I didn’t take into consideration, was the painting factor. The first time was a good three coats, then having to repaint the following years was a daunting task. Now I see many that are made of plastic and I can see how much easier that must be. All you have to do is gently wash them down each year. How infinately easier. As much as a pain that they were to maintain, I still love them. LOL!

Thank you so much, Teresa.

OMG! I Just featured my OWN work!!! I can hardly believe this. Thanks for drawing my attention to this Sandra. Another senior moment…

Thank you so much, Kelly, but I made a most rediculous mistake of featuring my own work! I have removed it from the featured section, but I still appreciate your sweet comments. I fear that some form of dementia may have set in overnight. LOL!

Thank you, Sandra. You are so very kind. I still feel like an idiot for it totally takes advantage of my position. I did remove it, for I feel that to be a host and moderator, that it would be too self-serving to be posting my own work. We have so much talent here on RB and hopefully we will always have much to choose from here in our special group. Hugs, Marjie

Thank you so much, Karon. I love picket fences and wish that I could put one up where I live. There is just something so inviting about them. They speak of a simpler time. a kindness by inviting frendliness, yet defining boundaries at the same time. They are a perfect back drop for flowers, a place to chat over with your neighbors and also a place to set your coffee cup while you pull a few weeds that have crept in uninvited. Oooh, sorry about that! I got carried away….

Thank you so much, my dear friend. I hope that it is cooler where you are these days with your canal lined streets. We are having a heat wave here. Today, we will be breaking records.
