White (board fence) Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday

Joining Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday and

Kathleen at Faded Charm today for

White Wednesday.

The fence that surrounds Cove Cottage was in desperate need of a lick of paint!

And time was running out! Our dry weather would soon be coming to

an end and we just couldn't leave the fence unpainted for another winter.

It was Now or Never! Painting by hand would have taken far too long so

Gentleman Farmer borrowed a paint sprayer. It makes a bit of a mess

of the grass and plants near the fence, but speeds the process along

greatly. The 'white' grass will disappear after a mowing or two.

After much hard prep work of scraping and rolling on a

mildewcide, and 11 gallons of primer and 11 gallons of white paint,

here is the finished product!

(Gentleman Farmer built all the fence and gates that surround Cove Cottage.)

One of the frequent visitors to Cove Cottage wanted to be in the

above photo ~ can you spot her?

Hopefully, next summer there will be a beautiful arbor and a gazebo to

go to through this new white gate!
