Split rail fence

There's something about a split rail fence that I think makes a house in the woods more homey.

I love wood fences of all kinds, but that's a particular beauty. Must be the whole Currier and Ives setting!

I agree with you...that's a pretty picture. I love how the split-rail fence looks with snow on top, too!

I agree, Shelley... Some of the old cabins in the Smokies have split rail fences. TOO NEAT!!!!

Beautiful picture...

Keep getting well.
Hugs,

i would have had a bunch of greenery on them and maybe a wreath. we added a small little section to our place this summer and i love it. it made the world of difference in the appearance when you pull up.

This fence represents a time on the frontier when those that lived there made everything then needed with the material at hand... and in a minimal fashion it creates a boundary which is another admirable attribute of times gone by... "waste not - want not".

Very cool.

I wonder if the birds are making the dents in the snow on the fence?

This photo is making the UP look rather balmy compared to my images of it :)
