Pickets , Paints and Gardens

.

With trusty jigsaw in hand,

and my design drawn upon the picket ,

.

I cut, cut, cut, (two at a time)

until I have enough pickets to make a scalloped fence.

We built this section of fence to anchor the "new" olde stone wall .

These  picket fence corner sections are on both ends of the stone wall to enclose this perennial border.

 

It isn't the first time I have cut these pickets. I previously cut 320 of them to make the main fence that runs along a side yard. People see this fence and do a double take, when they realize that the pickets are bunnies, squirrels and woodpeckers.

Think about making a picket fence with your own designs. Picket fences add a lot of charm to a cottage garden, and isn't charm the very soul of a country garden? 

When I am not cutting pickets, I am in the garden,

.

Or painting up in the studio that looks out into the garden..

and what am I painting??

Well, Picket fences and gardens , of course.

I still have a way to go on this illustration.

 I really should stay inside and finish it.
 

If only the garden would stop calling  to me...
