Isn't this a lovely piece of pine?

I think so. Mostly, because I'm picturing the nice new coffee table it will some day be transformed into. Some day!!

We've got mail!

In our new mailbox on our new fence!

This fence is something we've been talking about for a while now... We've had trouble on occasion with the neighbors horses coming on our yard. Their heavy footprints leave some ugly marks, and so we wanted to find a way to prevent that. A split rail fence sounded like a great idea - I didn't want anything that made our cute little house look like a jail. And then when I was visiting a sweet older lady from our church, I found out that she had some split rail sitting in her barn that she wasn't planning on using. A free pre-aged split rail fence! How great is that? So, Martin & his dad spent a bit of time the last few weeks digging holes and putting in the fence. Our ugly, old, green, covered in moss mailbox was in the way, so it got pulled out - yay!!! Another thing we'd been talking about doing for a while. Our new mailbox is nothing really exciting (except for the red flag - something our old mailbox didn't have) - but it's a big improvement from the last one we had!!
