Good Fences

Simon & Garfunkel

It always amazes me that those big creatures consent to be contained by a single strand of electric wire. If I'm reading those faces right, they gave up the notion of escape a long time ago.

Obviously built by a committee

Blogging is going to be sporadic for a while, while I try to encourage a disc in my back to get back where it belongs. (Re-reading that sentence, I'm reminded of why people find English a difficult language to learn!)


Roses on Highway 29

Mid-morning addition:  As I'm occasionally sitting down to visit your blogs, I'm getting lots of pop up ads for 'laser spine surgery.' LOL  That's my punishment for Googling 'how to heal a slipped disc.' Good grief, our lives are so monitored!  Oh no, I see a drone outside my window!  (just kidding - for now, anyway.)

  3. Sorry your back is bothering you. I have a spot that is always going out of line. Remember that old joke, "My back goes out more than I do"? I pray you get the help you need and return to feeling wonderful. I like the fence with the roses. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  11. Hope you can recover and get to feeling better. A back out of whack isn't fun at all.

    Love the photos...and the caption under the one ...with "obviously built by a committee" cracked me up. Some hand from Congress or a City Council maybe? lol...you had me rolling.

  14. It always amazes me how that one strand of wire can contain such huge creatures. Yes, it would hurt a bit, but they could shove through in no time. The second is my favorite, but those flowers sure draw my attention.

  15. Great shots...especially those roses against the wooden fence. Coming from someone who has worked in PT for almost 30 years, yes...go take care of that back! Seriously, I hope everything gets back in place very soon!

  25. Judy, I hope you get that disc to cooperate soon! Yes, it is amazing how monitored we all are. I just hate pop-up ads, even those "tailored" to my interests.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Love your horses and their names! A nice variety of fences. Hope you are on the mend.

    ReplyDelete

  27. Lovely pictures! I think that an electric fence is a great mystery for horses...

    Oh yeah, I once searched for a particular teapot and now teapots follow me on all paths through the Internet ...
    Good luck and health for you, that is fast all right and not to painful

    ReplyDelete

  30. I was attracted to the title of this blog. (I love cranberries and have them in my cereal every morning). Also especially love the fence with roses. The horses aren't bad either and I love their names :) Hope that disc heals soon. Yeah, I've noticed a lot of ads aimed at seniors show up around my posts :)

  33. Back pain is bad and can shut you down as you already know. I hope things can straighten out for you. The horses are wonderful to see. Take care.

  37. OMG, those pop ups are so irritating and intrusive!
    I have been suffering with my Sciatica the last two weeks, so I can easily sympathise with you right now Judy. I hope your back heals quickly for you!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm sorry about your back! Take care of yourself and don't worry about blogging. Love your photos, especially the fence with the roses! And I love the "obviously built by a committee"!

  39. Oh sorry to hear about your back. Hope it's better soon.
    Nice fence shots. Those roses are lovely. The horses don't seem to mind staying behind that one thin wire.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh, poor baby, back pain is the
    worst, isn't it? Hope you get some rest to recover. When my children had ponies they seemed to 'know' when the fence was shorted out and would always escape. The only way to catch them was to crumple a bag of potato chips! (My hubby worked for Frito-Lay at the time) They loved potato chips and would come running! After they ate all my roses......
    Speaking of drones - we had one fly over about 10 years ago at tree top level. It was white and about the size of a small car. Can you say, 'Creepy'?
    Hope you are feeling better very soon. xo Karen

  42. I hope you feel better and things get back where they belong on their own. I had to read hubby the last part of your post. We both have computers in our laps at the time of reading! lol Maybe I'll get computer ads now! Take care my friend! Love your photos. Hugs, Diane

  43. Oh, dear. Take all the time you need. You need to get that back feeling better!

    (I, too, hate those pop-up adds. It is so weird when that happens!)

    ReplyDelete

    Lovely fence and roses!

    The fence with roses was especially lovely.
