I remember when I was a kid and we moved from NY state to Florida. All the kids said "how could you live in NY with no trees or grass???" They thought the whole state was one big city!! Love that photo Yvonne.

The place with the fence was a horse farm. (It's still a very lovely farm, but the horses are gone.) The little barns on the pillars were replicas of the horse barn. Thanks, healingmagichands.

I like your picture very much. Who would have ever thought to build such a fence post in the first place, and then three of them. It is quite charming, and a nice entry to the contest.

Living in a rural community, we often feel the decisions made by politicians and law-makers totally miss the interest of rural people. What a very interesting post, Yvonne.

I took this picture at the entrance to my neighbor's driveway a couple of years ago. These posts with their little barns were on their last legs at the time. They have now been replaced with new brick pillars, so it was "the end of the line" for them. Thanks for the suggestion, Susie.
