~FINALLY, A WHITE PICKET FENCE...~

 "Hon, I was wondering if maybe you could....um...never mind.."

 "Mele???  never mind.."

 You see..when Patient Husband finishes putting up this little picket fence I bought at a garage sale..then mows the lawn and feeds the poor thing...the lawn that is.
I thought the corner of the yard would be a wonderful place to add it..in front of our rather messy tree.  Keeps Mele from "hunting" back there..and looks kinda cute.  :)

The fence is painted a very, very pale green.  Lovely... :)

 ..these wonderful metal baskets came tied to the fence, ALL for five dollars and ALL in perfect condition!  Good deal?  Yeah, I thought so too.

 Fall is on our patio...and growing...

 He deserves to nap...after all..he did a lot today...

I am joining Tootse for Fertilizer Friday...(LOVE that meme!)
Hugs, Mona

  9. Every cottage needs a picket fence - and you've found the perfect spot for yours. I love the photo that I'd entitle "Sleeping Hubby - Well Earned Rest".

  14. Mona, after reading your profile, I think it is very symbolic that you now have your cottage with a white "picket fence."It sounds like you have had some rough times but I'm so glad that you are happy with a sweet hubby and big family. Isn't
    it a good feeling when we triumph over adversities? Have a wonderful week.
    Oh before I go, the comment about the ceiling fan was due to the fact that the decorators on HGTV remove every ceiling fan they see. They think fans are ugly and should be abolished from the earth. hehe. -----------Shannon
