All Kinds of Fences...

Fences with faces,
not quite straight fences
and the ever ready T post.
I prefer cedar!

The pressure tank will become a table soon.

Good Fences

The rain sparkled on grass after the storm.
The wind blew hard enough to blow the bark off the post.
The fence still stands.

One Spot At A Time

that's all anyone can do.  You just have to keep focused on One Spot until it's finished and move to the next spot.  Before you know it work will be done.

This spot has been on my mind since the deer party we had a few weeks ago.  I used it for a fence post at The Run*A*Ranch.  I was ashamed the fence was not visible but it was doing its job.
For years this second "gate" beside the cattle guard could be opened to accommodate a wide load.
The school bus kept hitting it and other tragedies happened to this poor gate but it still kept the stock from wandering.
Not a Fortune Five Hundred fix but it's up again!
 Maybe this sign can now be seen and obeyed.
Around here I can measure my work only by the piles of brush...and that creates another job. The green is arriving in full force. One small job, one giant backache but I am grateful.  

Join the fun at Good Fences!

It Takes All Kinds of Fences...

for all kinds of jobs.  Everyone's sharing their fences with TexWisGirl.  Join the fun.

My fences aren't pretty but they work.  Sadly we have no horses or cattle now so we don't worry so much about fence.  The land still needs bush hogged and fences need to be checked anyway.
Lil has found a hidden water hole under barbed wire.
Look closely and you will see 
electric fence surrounds this field.
It seems empty without stock.
Check it out, almost a hundred fences there already.
Join the fun.

Good Fences

At the north end of our compound is the orchard.  The herd use this as their path through and to green pastures.  During fruit season they linger longer.

Hubby came to get me with my camera to witness the herd.  There were a dozen.  They were very alert and had been frolicking before I arrived.   I first shot through the screen, then through the window glass, then I slowly sneaked outside to get a clear view through a big lens (don't ask me what lens, I'm still learning).
They are moving toward our private road.
A few wandered over the cattle guard.
This one saw me and was sore afraid.
For those not familiar with this type of deer
the white tail "flag" is a warning for the herd.
Easy to see and tells them all DANGER.

If you're wondering what this has to do with fences
at The Run*A*Round Ranch's Good Fences
just take my word for it...
behind all that brush is a fence.

Today I'm sharing a favorite.
