We have a privacy fence in our backyard because of our pool. It requires upkeep but not anywhere near what a white picket fence would require. They are nostalgic and represent warm fuzzy feelings to a lot of people. So I like to look at them, but don't want one around my own home.Rhodenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448228698535727705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1120327352447737752005-07-02T14:02:00.000-04:002005-07-02T14:02:00.000-04:00I like the idea of a white picket fence because of...I like the idea of a white picket fence because of everything having one means--family, home ownership... but the reality is that you have to run a weed whacker along those suckers, and that's not much fun...Thumperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154314376352066709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1120316089021583242005-07-02T10:54:00.000-04:002005-07-02T10:54:00.000-04:00Whenever I have wished for a picket fence, discuss...Whenever I have wished for a picket fence, discussed pickets fences, or referred to a picket fence, it was always used figuratively, not literally.

But it does symbolize 'the American Dream" whether we want to acknowledge it or not. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1120263686335315772005-07-01T20:21:00.000-04:002005-07-01T20:21:00.000-04:00I'm more the wrought iron and spikes type, myself,...I'm more the wrought iron and spikes type, myself, but here's what I love about picket fences: if you ride a bike past one, and just the right speed, the motion combines with the gaps between the boards to give the illusion of invisibility, and that's pretty damned cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1120247834050246472005-07-01T15:57:00.000-04:002005-07-01T15:57:00.000-04:00Not a fan.Why?Because...it'll never get well if yo...Not a fan.<BR/><BR/>Why?<BR/><BR/>Because...<BR/><BR/>it'll never get well if you picket.<BR/><BR/>(I'll get my coat)Zinnia Cyclamenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841314997513292477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-1119787174632098742005-06-26T07:59:00.000-04:002005-06-26T07:59:00.000-04:00Here via Michele today.
