Yeah, I get that
We'll see
Saw three black tails bedded down right outside our fence
There's a little thicket of trees and brush they seem to call home
Our back yard may become their 7-11
I may need a silencer

Have you thought of doing espalier of fruit trees along the fence?
When hubby first retired,we traveled to see Longwood Gardens which was owned by the DuPont family.
Thought that estate was interesting ,, traveled to Delaware where DuPont had a gun powder manufacturer .
As we toured the gardens , was impressed that original map of the vegetable gardens had been found .
Around them were fruit trees, espalier style.

Interesting
I'm in hopes the Oregon grape holly will interweave in the chain link
I plan on that stuff being the border all along the fence

For the first year while the bushes are getting started you could probably add some Kentucky Wonder pole beans along the fence.
Oh, I do like that!
They're quick
.....and they're goooood
Love fresh picked green beans
especially Kentucky Wonder

Rattlesnake Pole Beans
"Pole beans are one of those vegetables that put out a tremendous amount of nutritious food in an exceedingly small amount of space. A big plus is that I just almost never see disease or insect damage and the birds leave them alone. They are just incredibly easy to grow".
Takes a lot less space than bush beans as they grow vertical.
"Indians grew them together with squash and corn, "the three sisters". The beans fix nitrogen in the soil and climb the corn, the corn gets nitrogen from the beans, and the squash provides ground shade which conserves moisture and chokes out weeds".

Question from PA.
Who owes the fence?
Cemetery or you?
Find out how cemetery is maintained,
Weed whacker may be used to trim around fence or headstones.

We own it
They mow and trim
Haven't seen 'em get close to our fence
The cemetery is a relic, a pioneer thing
Folks there have been pushin' up daisies for a very very long time

@ Gary Hubby & his brother mow the cemetery close to us.
Its group are particular about its maintenance which was the reason I asked.

Like Gary I would miss doing the firewood. Have slowed down a bit here a bit. BUT I am not going to stop doing what is good for me and what I enjoy. Don't think my ax is a cute one though.

Today was finish the screen door day
It's not that usual for me to be completely satisfied with a project
Today was wunna those rare days
Very happy with the screen door
Bought the heavy duty screen to keep the blessed little grandevils from kicking it in or tearing it this summer
Thing is, the back door now looks better than the front door

A snow day
No working outside, and I need lumber to make a picnic table
The truck isn't 4WD, sooooooo, I stayed home and decided to frame some pics from the cabin
to hang in the shop
A little something to remember
I didn't have straight enough limbs to rip like in this pic;
So, I used the cedar fence boards
Rip to width
add some 45s
And highlighted the grain with a darker stain
Then roughed the edges
Turned out OK
