Bill? I enjoyed the Fence story it brought back memories of my encounter with fences, some good and some not

Some fences have eminent domain. One cannot remove them unless they have good cause. In fact some fences assume ownership of the land if not repaired or painted within the last ten years

The land owner needs permission to remove them so it appears you made a wise decision to repair and paint them.

The mention of your mother reflects the love you have for her Mothers are like that. I’m sure she approved of your decision to paint them Bless her!

Thanks so much, Jerry, for your kind words. I will never equal you in the property maintenance department!

Happy I have stone walls instead of the white picket fence I once envisioned, as did many girls in my generation. Stone walls age with beauty -- and if a boulder falls, there is no self shaming at this point in my life in seeking more muscular help. (Although I'd like it to be noted that I once did build stone walls 😊).

Building a stone wall is definitely some serious exercise!

Alas, paint starts fading and peeling almost before it' even dries….
