You know what they say about good fences...

...they make good neighbours. I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. It's not that I don't like my neighbours, quite the contrary, actually. I just really value my privacy and the fences separate my little haven from the kid-chaos next door.

Most of the fencing was put in new just before we bought the house but there is one portion that is old. We've been cross-bracing some of the planks to keep them up. Well, with the high winds we've had lately, that section didn't stand a chance!

This is what we woke up to the other day.

So that will be the next improvement we make around here! I'm actually pretty happy about this because I want/need a new gate on that side of the yard and now I get one!
