Good Fences #94 - Vines n Gate

Welcome! - Well another New Year has arrived and it's time to join Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) once again for GOOD FENCES.

I hope to do all 52 weeks this year.  I missed 2 weeks in 2015. (Bummer!)

Anyway here is my entry for this week:


I pass by this house quite often on walks.  I thought the Vine covered wall was interesting and the gate looked pretty neat as well.  Love the iron work on it and the fact that it has a straw thatched background. - You can see a sign on the gate but can't really see what it says that well.

Let's go in for a closer look....



 Finally a really close look at the sign:



Apparently this day the they weren't expecting any "friends" as the gate was closed.  If you notice there is even a padlock on the gate so I'm questioning just how welcome guest are.

Don't forget to stop by and check out all the other great participants fence posts.

Have an awesome day!

  1. Those folks must like their privacy more than welcoming friends but that said the gates are very nice & well made.

  10. A beautiful gate and it looks very private. We keep our gate locked, too. Too many solicitors, even way out in the 'boonies'! - Karen

  16. Neat gate and fence. Reminds me of when we went to Memphis--gas stations had bars(!) over the windows. Apparently in other places there is a much greater need for security than out here in the countryside of Iowa! They must just have put the sign on the gate so it would not seem too forbidding.

  23. Hi Ida, this is an interesting mix of gate and stone wall. Love the metal design. Wonder if the vine turns green and blooms in the spring and summer. What a beautiful site it would be.
    Happy New Year!! xo
