Good Fences - Sept. 11, 2014

Welcome.  Won't you join me as we link up with Theresa from (The Run-a-Round Ranch Report) for
GOOD FENCES

I am so glad that I went out last week and got some fence shots because with my camera off for repairs I wouldn't have been able to particpate. 

The school Coleen attends has a little Vegetable/Flower Garden plot in front of the school.  The kids plant different things in the plot each year and use the produce for various school projects.

Surrounding the garden plot is a wooden picket fence and growing near the fence were these lovely sunflowers.  I hope you enjoy them.







Be sure to visit Theresa's blog and check out the other great fences.

Let us pause for a moment today to remember those who gave their lives on 9-11-2001 and for those still fighting today for our Freedom.  God Bless America.

  6. Nice shot with the sunflowers along the old fence. The building in the back of my just-for-looks Good Fence is a huge over the top fancy winery/tasting room. Some of these wineries out here are like French chateaus. Lots of $$$

  15. Who will ever forget how they felt that terrible day? What has it been? 13 years? It still seems so raw. Every day I feel blessed to live in a country, (and a continent) where I am free. I have many friends who have served in the military or still are and it is their stories that has connected me to the truth of what they go through so that we can live peacefully here. Bless them, indeed.
    Beautiful fence photos, by the way. I love garden fences...

  32. I love sunflowers, and I love picket fences. I don't know why picket fences are so rare around here, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one in the Houston area. Maybe it's the weather and the insects.

    That's ok -- I can enjoy your photos!
