Everybody wants a white picket fence, right?
Your turn: If you aspire to a white picket fence, why? What is it about them that makes them worth dreaming about? If you're not a fan, why not? (I know, this is a really broad topic...I'm feeling vague today. Thanks for indulging me!)

Here via Michele today. I like the photo.

Not a fan.
Why?
Because...
it'll never get well if you picket.
(I'll get my coat)
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.
I have this picket fence. I love it but it does need painting and that is a drag. But it does symbolize 'the American Dream" whether we want to acknowledge it or not. :)
I like picket fences because they symbolize family and community. Unfortunately, most Americans are now so materialistic and competitive that a picket fence seems trite.
cool picture but not a fan.... i like my space so, don't fence me in!
not a fence kind of gal. we have a block wall in the back and nothing in front. Just the way i like it ;)
Whenever I have wished for a picket fence, discussed pickets fences, or referred to a picket fence, it was always used figuratively, not literally. I don't care to ever had a real white picket fence, just it represents.
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...
I love to see them when they are around an appropriate-looking home for them. 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.
