Humm, my neighbor has the fence company here this morning and they are replacing the split rail fence that runs along his property line. It has totally disintegrated and only some rotted posts are left. He has been telling me they will replace that fence for near ten years so pardon me if I was very surprised to see it actually being done.
It is shady there now as my mixed shrub border runs along the property line and on the neighbors side a giant cut leaf maple. But that fence being put back reminded me of how it looked when I was a child and it was sunny there. Those neighbors had pretty red climbing roses growing all along that split rail fence. Those red roses are a strong memory of mine as it really looked stunning when they bloomed each June.
