Taste of spring

Just a short post to share this taste of spring with you. Cherry blossom time is finally here and tourists are crowding the city to see our beautiful springtime.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Don't fence me in

Unless it's a beauty like this one! After yesterdays post, celebrated blog commenter Toby Worthington contacted me with this fence he designed for his own house.

Toby based the design on a fence in upstate New York found in a book by a local architect. The design complements his 1860s Gothic painted brick house; Now THATS something I'd want to see, how about you? Thanks for sharing, Toby!!

Fencing

Washington is a city of fences. Most townhouses that have any garden at the front inevitably have an antique iron fence guarding their plants and hard work from passerbys and dogs. At the 'patina' house I spied this neoclassic design, seen below, very unusual here in DC where a more Victorian approach is typical, like seen above.

Do fences make for good neighbors? Love to see examples of fencing in your area!
