Today is Day 4 of my participation in Jen’s 7 Posts in 7 Days Challenge.
It’s also a photo mash-up as I link up with Cari for Theme Thursday: Fences (refer to {pretty}) and Like Mother, Like Daughter for {pretty, happy, funny, real}.

I’m linking this photo with Theme Thursday: Fences.
When I saw that the topic was fences, I immediately thought of this older photo I took when we visited the Santa Cruz area. I loved the look of the fence with the daisies but this was from a few months ago so it technically doesn’t follow the rules of being a photo from this week.
So to cover my bases, on the way home from picking up John-Paul from pre school I pulled to the side of the road and snapped this fence that separates the road from the walking trail I frequent. I would have tried for something more artistic but I was pressed for time.

My mom has been visiting us and she insisted on babysitting the kids so Brian and I could go out to dinner. Well, you don’t have to twist my arm. I actually planned two dates. One with Bella for a mom-daughter night out at the movies. (We went to see the Lego Movie.) And my second date was with this sweet man.

This guy. (Do your kids hate getting out of their pj’s??)

The other night as we were getting the kids ready for bed one of the toilets was backed up so we told the kids to just use the other bathroom until we fixed it. However, the other two toilets were backed up too. Then we noticed dirty water in our tub and shower. With a quick google, we realized that we had a sewer line clog. Thank goodness Roto-Rooter works 24/7! The young guy that came to help us was great. It was not an easy fix and he had to go through a number of pipes until he was finally able to find the cause of the problem. We’ve got some old plumbing so it looks like we’ll have to do some replacing. But at least for now we have working plumbing again. You never appreciate the conveniences of our life until they are taken away!! š

The split rail fence with flowers looks heavenly! I love country pics.
Glad the plumbing problem was solved!
I love the first picture! I am actually been planning that type of fence for the area up near the road and daisies to be planted around it.
People actually change out of their jammies?
My mind is blown.
Fences are like houses, I guess. They are their own individual characters, and maybe they have stories to tell, too.
That’s such a sweet gesture from your mom š
I absolutely love that you live in a place where you can just pull over and snap a shot of a view THAT fantastic!
