Good Fences #109 - Snowball Decor



Good Day! - It is a good day.  Let's rejoice and be Glad in it.

Let's also join Tex (Theresa) for GOOD FENCES  It's always a pleasure to visit this meme and check out the other fence finds from around the world.

I was driving around the other day and spotted one of my favorite spring flowering bushes and decided to stop and get a picture of it.  That's when I happened to notice the neat little gate the people had in their yard.

Here you can see the gate and some of the fencing leading into their yard.  You'll also notice the huge Snowball Bush in the back ground.

A little closer look at the cute little metal flower on the gate.

Some of the snowball blooms hanging over the fence.

These bushes get really tall and very full.  The color of the blooms starts out as a pale green and eventually turns white.  Then they look like big "Snowballs" hanging on the bush.

They are so pretty and don't you like the lichen growing on the top of the fence posts.

What a lovely find this was.  I hope you enjoyed it too.

Don't forget to stop by (The Run-a-round Ranch Report) to check out the other Good Fences. 

Have a great day!

    This series shows the real beauty of the garden in this home and the nice fence surround the garden.

  25. I love snowball bushes and that one's a beauty! Fabulous fence and gate, too. The lichen makes it look as though someone painted the top of each board. Wonderful photo!

  26. Hello Ida. Im glad you put the proper name to that Snowball plant becuase I would have called it a chrysanthemum. Perhaps I should stick to birds?
