There used to be a fence behind this, but it was taken down. I don't know if they plan to rebuild it or not. This farm has been in the same family since I was a youngster and lived just a mile or so down the highway. I would saddle up my horse and ride down the lane just to the left of the sign to the farm house for piano lessons. I only took lessons for 3 summers and learned just enough to play for my own pleasure. And to aggravate my brothers by playing the same favorite song over and over! lol! The woman who lives on this farm now is the daughter of my former neighbor and piano teacher. There have been a few changes to this farm, including a new house which was built several years ago.
I'm not sure the first photo qualifies as a fence, but maybe this railing across the bridge which goes over the Missouri River will. I rolled down my car window and snapped this one. I only just noticed the reflection of the old railroad bridge in the water when resizing the photo.
This has been a busy week so far and I haven't gotten to visit as much as I would like. Can you believe tomorrow is Friday already and almost the middle of the month?

Happy Thursday to you!

That bridge photo is spectacular. Loved the story about your piano lessons and teasing your siblings with your favorite song. How sweet.
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped to take that last shot. It is fantastic and I also loved hearing about your piano lessons when you were a gril
ReplyDeleteOh what a nice place to grow up near. Piano lessons and irritating a brother sounds perfect.LOVE the railroad bridge reflection so pretty. Hug B
ReplyDeleteI would think a ghost fence would count but the other one certainly should. I love the name of that ranch. Nice that it has stayed in the family.
