One of my favorite little phrases that I hear often from this sweet mouth is
"PRIVACY PLEASE"
**indeed**
in our situation, I find myself wanting to offer our neighbors a bit of privacy
not that we have that many shenanigans going on and we are seldom out past 9 PM
(sadly)
but we always knew we'd build a very tall fence in our backyard
once cute carpenter man
and Mr. PV could get together to build it!
this brings back some distant memories of all that pine that needed to be grey washed to go on our master ceiling..whew! glad we got that part done!
we have had the strangest weather this year...100+ in May
and now in July? Almost 2 inches of rain in the last 2 days with record lows for
the highs and the lows...set back in the early 1900's.
And rain predicted all week!
it's been far too wet for the sprinkler system crew to work...so that project is on hold
and even though the yard is really muddy...it didn't stop these two!
this fence will have slats over the top of what you see
with a nice cap on top of that...not only private, but very tall
I am so excited for the gate...it will have a double opening with something very fancy I am told
to make up for...oopsie
they had about two hours in which to work before the next wave of rainstorms arrived
we have been in a long drought so no one complains of the rain
no one!
Mrs. Hergert had a fire pit before fire pits were cool
we uncovered this one which was under years of Virginia Creeper
we found some of the original brick left over so it will be taller and have red flagstone
this is the view from the firepit
the pool that we haven't been able to use much
last year it was under construction
this summer
well...the rest of the yard is under construction
"PRIVACY PLEASE"
so I have been amusing myself in other ways
like growing veggies
dreaming of flowerbeds
eating kumquats
and waiting my turn!

Também gosto de privacidade. Aqui não temos vizinho perto, moramos numa fazenda. Estranharia morar com pessoas ao lado. Lindo ficou seu muto de madeira. Seu jardim está muito bonito. Aqui começou a chover e não para mais. Tivemos uma seca terrível. Temos um problema grava aqui, perto de minha casa tem extração de areia e eles rebaixaram o lençol freático. Lagoas que tínhamos em nossa propriedade secaram e morreram todos nosso peixes.
Well,
bjos e tenha uma ótima semana.
Linda sua netinha, quero ver quando vierem meus netos. É uma felicidade ver esses lindo bebe.
Isn't it wonderful how even in the smallest change there is excitement- although not small in your case, I am sure you are having fun in this project! -wishing you all the best- Colette X
What a wonderful project and it all looks so beautiful...no need to travel from here!!
What a wonderful post. Love the pool and the fence will be great. We cannot put one up that is that tall here. 6' is the maximum. The only way to "get around the law" is to build a berm and put it on top of that-which no one really does..we did on one side. Great old firepit, too. Can't wait to see more- xo Diana
Your projects always amaze me! Your husband is so "handy"! I wish Jim and I were more like that! Thankfully, our son has his own building company so we can pick up the phone whenever we have a project! However….he's NOT CHEAP that's for sure! LOL! Thanks for stopping by earlier….you have GOT to check out Luke Bryan! He won Entertainer of the Year and his song Crash My Party is the #1 country single right now! Oh….and it's his birthday today! ( do I seem smitten to you?) He's a doll!
It's never ending at your place -every week there's another new project! The fence looks awesome. Privacy for sure - it's the first thing we did when we moved here!
How exciting for you! I have been waiting 3 yrs for a fence and I can't wait till mine goes up. We are also considering a pool too. The pool people told us they can do both..I cant wait ..seeing all your pics is really motivating me..I love it all.what size is your pool? Thats the only thing we cant figure out..your yard is gorgeous. .
Awesome project my friend! And I wanna take a dip in that pool :)
Your backyard is a paradise! You are one lucky duck. We're hugging the side of a mountain, so all we have is a deck!
Your fence is pretty, and I want to see your pretty gate once it's up!

Gina, the pool looks gorgeous!! Hopefully you'll have better weather to enjoy it and finish the fence! Look forward to seeing the gate.
