Good Fences, Wisconsin Barns, and The Littlest Voter

Baby Oliver
Stuffing the Ballot Box
(just kidding)

Before I get started with the fences, I wanted to share this photo our daughter-in-law sent after they'd voted yesterday.

Rice Lake, WI

Just down the road from New Hope Lutheran


Dallas, WI

Between Bloomer and Colfax

    Love the Just Voted family picture. Nice to see our kids vote, isn't it?
    Great pictures, as always. I have always liked the Rice Lake area. xo Diana

    Before my eyes really focused on it, thought pic of your Mandarin Orange soap was a pic of a couple of slices of bacon. Hey! Maybe a new flavor of soap for you to make! Hahahahahhhaaaaa! (I slay me!)

    Love the whole lookin' right thing with baby Oliver. Maybe he voted Republican? Although he's glancing right but leaning a little to the left. Maybe he's an Independent? LOL!

    Love the fences. So happy your family vote, cute photo. I heard that a huge percentage of people did not vote in your U.S.election that is sad. When will people realize people in other countries die for that right. Our country is the same. Sorry for the rant.:) Hug B

    I love the woven fence the best but definitely would not enjoy painting it!

    It did my heart good that both of our kids voted early. At least we got that right (good citizens). Your photos are all good but I love the first one the best! Setting a good example right from the start. What a cutie!

    That's such a cute picture of the baby, Judy. Great looking fences too. My father-in-law who is from Wisconsin passed away, and his funeral is this weekend. He always talked about his roots and where he came from.

    Have a good rest of the week.

    Love the fences and the church and the barn...I loved everything! :-) The photo of the open woven fence was especially interesting, and the shadows made it even more so.

    Cute! Little Oliver looks like he is not too sure about that sticker! New Hope?? We live right beside a New Hope...is this one in Virginia? I went to the voting booth and couldn't find the right button. Then my friend went and she got so tangled up in the curtain that she had to yell for help...casting a senior vote for us is a nutty proposition.
