Good fences, part II

We were hoping to wait until summer to get the last bit of fence fixed up, but a wind storm had other plans.
Much as we like Barbara and her dog Toby, this was a little too cozy for comfort.

So, we set about getting a new fence put in. L. has been getting all sorts of various illnesses this past month, and, as you can see, I'm not in the most helpful of shapes....

 It was clear we'd need at least a little help. Fortunately, the chap who helped L. and Neighbour-on-the-otherside with that fence was available. And, even better, L. started to feel better and was able to give a hand.
End result: a beautiful, sturdy fence in just a weekend and a bit.
Ahhhh, lovely privacy again.

In other garden-related news, the unseasonably warm January has meant that we have colour in the garden....
(still blooming from the fall!)

It certainly doesn't seem like winter....
