White Wednesday---over the fence...

I'm not sure what there is about a picket fence

that makes me love them so.

They just say community to me.

It doesn't matter to me if they are freshly painted or

or chippy and leaning, they are just so charming.

My dream of having one for myself has not yet

come true, but I still dream.

I have always imagined myself leaning over

the fence talking to my sweet friend Sarah.

Trying to solve the worlds problems

one conversation at a time.

I think a cottage looks so much more

inviting, so much friendlier

when surrounded by a picket fence.

Yes, I was the girl that always said

I wanted a house with a white picket fence

and a yard full of children.

Did you ever say that?






When I drive through unfamiliar towns,


I like to take the side streets and see all

the old homes and cottages with their

little white fences surrounding them.





All of these pretty little pickets were photographed

when I went to Hailey yesterday to run some errands.

The lighting was poor this day, so I apologize
for the pictures being a little dark.


Hailey is a small town 30 miles from my small


town Idaho. It is so full of charm that it just

seems to wrap you in it's arms.

I love towns like this.

It is much bigger than where I live, but still small enough

that is has retained it's wonderful sense

of community well.

No malls or shopping centers here.



Just a lot of cute picket fences!
