This idyllic scene is at the farm which belonged to my Aunt Ruth and Uncle Ezra, a couple of miles from our place. They've both been gone a number of years but their farm is still maintained by their two surviving children. My cousin Leon has a nice garden planted there, is in the process of taking down an old barn (which I've preserved in some photographs), and has upgraded several of the gates and many of the fences. He and his wife Nancy are also in the process of refurbishing the 1929 farm house back to its original charm. My Aunt Ruth had a wonderful soft, rather lilting voice with a beautiful Texas/Southern accent, baked a mean lemon meringue pie, and was a favorite amongst the extended family's nieces and nephews.

that's a beautiful shot. great gate! so nice that the farm is still in the family and is being well-tended to. :)
It looks well kept. I bet the home will look fabulous!
Nice scene. Glad your family is still able to maintain the property. It looks great.
OH, I love that gate. Such good news that the place is being restored.
Beautiful gate; love when people restore a place.
Great picture ~ love the gate but also love how the fence wraps itself around the stand of trees!

Beautiful gate and property and a lovely photo.
I'm glad to hear that the family heritage is being maintained. You have just got to love a woman who can bake a mean lemon meringue pie!
