don't fence me in

Monday, February 18, 2013

Are you dreaming of spring like me? Being stuck inside the last month has brought on a huge case of cabin fever. I can't wait to get outside and enjoy the fresh air again. Today seems the perfect day to start dreaming of spring. The sun is shining and it is almost 60 degrees. 

 So today I am dreaming of garden fences.

 I am in love with rustic fences.

 and upcycled fences

 and fences with twig gates

 and large colored pencil fences

 and old wire fences

 and bicycle garden gates

 So why am I dreaming of fences? Not because I want to be contained, but because of all the promises of gardens on the other side.

    Laura, that wire fence is amazing. I can do without the huge pencils though. I too am dreaming of spring. It is coming, isn't it?

    Rustic, twig and wire all get my vote. I'd have roses growing on them and over them and honeysuckle too. My fences would entirely designed to draw people in. Sue

    This was a fun post! I always long to go inside a lovely gate and see what kind of garden is there! They are intriguing ~ love the bicycle! Hope you are feeling better and able to go outside soon!

    Love all those fences you found. I'm not even dreaming of spring yet. It's suppose to be 10 to 20 below windchill tonight and we have blowing snow causing white out conditions. Then we are supposed to get more snow Thursday. So it's going to be a long time before we see any pretty gardens behind our fences.
    I hope you are doing well though and able to get out and enjoy that 60 degree weather!

    I always think of Robert Frost's poem, Mending Wall, when I think of fences.

    He says again, "Good fences make good neighbors."

    Thanks for showing us that good fences come in many styles.
