Because it needs to go quite a distance I thought it might be best to put in a few wood posts along the way.. It was a bit of a challenge, but I was able to dig a hole and sink the posts.. Sometimes I forget my age and just barrel in there, so I am going slow so I don't tweak the back...Thank you to my sis for lending a helping hand with some of the panels. I hope to have it finished this summer, maybe before..
I am getting there.. Just need to turn the corner and back to the house, and put a gate on the other end. I also put in the red brick that outlines the grass.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Wowww this is great !!!...happy weekend ....love Ria...x !
ReplyDeleteOh Penny, you inspire. But this is what you and I both are made of....what Tea Rat and Bebe are made of: SPIT FIRE! We do not let the sun or the snow stop us from getting things done, and what you have done is IMPRESSIVE! Bravo for you, and it looks fabulous! Ruben would be very impressed for it is straight; if I tried it, it would be as wonky as my drawings!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI so wish I were there to play with the curly ones and laugh with you.
LOVE!
PENNY! You came to the pink post. WHEW, did I have a hard time with the font....it got all out of line and I could not get it to fit on the page. But the word is out, and I hope there will be people who are interested in buying a copy. A certain percentage does go to a wonderful cause, and many types of artists both male and female will be featured. This will be a great opportunity for me to practice my writing in a new genre and to be published....a dream and goal come true. Ah......wasn't that fun in Nowhere today? Tea Rat lost it when he found out Miss M. came by; he let the beaters on the mixer fly about and now there's chocolate batter all over the walls. teehee
ReplyDeleteDear Penny, this is very impressive work, just like Anita says! But oh dear, take care for you body, be careful. But it is worth all the efforts, it looks beautiful and I think that Zoe and Jasper will be so happy to play on the grass, look at them :D!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
Blessings, Ilona
Dear Penny,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your new fence is and bravo for doing it yourself. Do take care though with your back - good idea taking your time with it. Zoe and Jasper must be loving running and playing on the grass.
Have a lovely weekend dear friend
hugs
Carolyn
Oh my Penny, that is very impressive. I have so much to do in my garden this coming summer and I didn't know how I would accomplish it all by myself. You are such an inspiration! I will just keep reminding myself of what you have accomplished. It looks very beautiful Penny. Many hugs to Jasper and Zoe.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Delane
Penny It really looks nice and so even too! I can never put up an even fence, mine are always higgeldy piggeldy. I know what you mean about taking it easy at our age, I've been cleaning the yard and trimming goat's hooves, arghhhhh! I will pay for this tonight
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on this project - you and your sister. Yes take it slow, my friend, or you will pull a muscle. I am always doing things right when I wake up before stretching, and sometimes I'll pull a muscle myself. Your doggy is so cute, and guess what? I used to have a dog named Jasper too.
Have a very nice weekend, dear Penny.
Love,
~Sheri
You did a wonderful job , and I can see that the dogs agree too !
ReplyDeletePenny it looks very impressive, straight, pretty ... Tons of work! I'm impressed and so is Jasper and Zoe. I am sure they were observant supervisors on the site! It will be an amazing accomplishment and I's sure a real sense of pride.
ReplyDeleteOh Penny, guess what? Violet and Cherise are best of friends. You make dreams come true and magic appear.
hugs,
Vera
Good morning my dear accomplice in FUN! teeeheee
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming by again. Yes, goal accomplished, now to keep getting better and better. HAPPY SUNDAY!
You're putting this in yourself? Wow -- I'm impressed. Our ground has such clay I have trouble digging holes for daffodil planting, much less fence posts. This is not only an amazing accomplishment, it looks simply fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Penny, I am sooo impressed...that looks absolutely fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty ....I love fences like that.
Keep us updated on your progress...
Have a wonderful week!!!
XOXO

Dear Penny - what an undertaking...absolutely a great job too. Now when you get finished - do you hire out? I am wanting to fence in my veggie patch someday - I can wait for your expertise (LOL)! Have a beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteWow Penny! I love the fence! You have already accomplished so much. The red brick is the perfect little splash of color. I know your doggies will be grateful. XOXOX Christel
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Penny! That looks beautiful! Maybe you should add general contractor to your list of talents? :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your week!
Heidi
You all are so very kind with your comments about the fence, but it's far from perfect... Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteAlthough the yard is fenced already with a chain link fence, constructing this around the grassed area will keep them close, out of the dirt and rock and still have a nice place to play...
Wishing you all a lovely evening
Penny
p.s. Heidi, a general contractor LOL!
Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteOh my! This is wonderful, the fence that is. You are amazing, this is somethingI would like to do and challenge myself, if you can do it I certainly could try to do it :)
I also love seeing some of what inspires you and all the charm around your home.
Thank you Penny dear for taking the time to visit, and best leaving a comment. You my friend are someone to love and adore.
Xx

Dear Penny,
ReplyDeleteYou and your sister have put in so much work, and it shows...what a sweet and pretty fence! I can imagine Zoe and Jasper wondering what's going on during all of that building commotion! :))
Do take care of yourself....
Sending love and hugs,
- Irina
Hey...why not? You are so talented. haha...You can do just about anything with those creative hands of yours. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by. Can you believe springtime is right around the corner? So exciting!
Take care,
Heidi
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are building a fence?!?!?!?!?
How cool is that?!?!?! And it is soooooo pretty!!!!!
We are such DIY-ers aren't we? : )
(but I've never attempted to build a fence)
You astonish me!
Oh, and that video you shared with Anita of the 2 dogs
getting ice cream? We do that with our dogs, and if we don't keep guard as they take turns, Drifter would do just as that dog did, gobble it all up in one bite!
The kids and I threw an impromptu birthday party for our younger dog who just turned 8, and we left the room for a moment to return to Drifter helping himself to the cake. We never found one of the candles......
